Food, Art & Craft Markets around Cockermouth
2021 marks the 800th anniversary of Cockermouth revieing its first royal charter to hold a market in the town! Sadly, we no longer have a traditional on street market, although moves are afoot to rectify that. 2021 also marks the Diamond Jubilee of Cockermouth Country Market, which has been supplying home- made, hand crafted and home grown goods to the town since 1961! Find them every Friday in the URC on Main Street.
Once a month on a Saturday the Arts and Craft market is held, also at the URC Main Street and here you can get Textiles, bags, bunting, original artwork, baby clothes, jams, chutneys, marmalades, pens, jewellery, artificial flower arrangements, candles, button art, cards, hats, mittens and ceramics.
Sunday is the day to go find bargains at the Car Boot extravaganza at Mitchells Auctions Mart- just on the edge of town! All the usual fab finds, as well as a makers’ market!
