It’s time for a workout revamp! Get ready, set and go! with Kirkgate Arts and Heritage’s first ever sporting goods sale in Cockermouth this weekend.
Kirk Kit represents the centre’s first sporting goods sale, based very much on the same formula that has made its Cockfrock event such a big annual hit.
Kirkgate General Manager Emma Heys said: “After the years of successful sales through Cockfrock, we wanted to offer a similar chance to sell unwanted sports and exercise equipment.
“It’s the same format as Cockfrock, but for clothing and equipment for all sports, outdoor activities, camping, water activities, cycling and more. There will be men’s and women’s equipment on sale, for all ages, adult and children.”
Kirk Kit takes place on Saturday, September 28 and Sunday, September 29 (10.30am until 4pm) at the Kirkgate Centre, Cockermouth, CA13 9PJ
Entry is free and all visitors will be entered into our prize draw, for a chance to win a glamping break!
Emma added: “Over the years of holding Cockfrock sales, we have had lots of people asking us why don’t we do the same for other items?
“We like to take the communities’ suggestions on board. We’ve got a fantastic range of items on sale from pre-loved activity clothes and shoes, to bikes, rucksacks, tents and sports equipment, skis, golf clubs, weights and much more. All good quality and reasonably priced.
“We’re hoping that Kirk Kit will prove as popular with the sporting community as Cockfrock has with the fashionistas!”
