Welcome to Cumbria Festvals

Welcome to Cumbria Festivals

We're a bunch of festival-mad Cumbrians who wanted to set up a site dedicated to the thriving live music scene in the county and provide you with a one-stop shop for fest information for all the music events in and around Cumbria prior to festival season kicking off.

The Rooster roared..............

Imagine a place where age, sex, race religion, politics and wealth count for nothing. Then imagine a place surrounded by natural beauty where music is played in it's most raw and pure form. . . . . . It was the biggest and best CockRock yet. . .see photos and videos here.

Fake fun in Maryport

It may not have been the real thing, but a fake festival in Maryport attracted 700 people to the town last weekend.

Run for the first time last year as a budget festival, Fakestival looks like becoming a permanent fixture on Maryport’s calendar.

Hensingham rocked in 2011

Hensingham rocked in May as young and old enjoyed the best of local music.

The three-day event was held at the Whitehaven Rugby League Club, starting on Friday evening.

At The Playground

The kids came out to play in Whitehaven on Saturday in the sunshine.
At The Playground, at Whitehaven Cricket Club, was a roaring success and saw more than 30 acts play three different stages and a dance tent to more than 700 people.
