Fancy a Friendly Chat about Cockermouth?

Interested in meeting up with a group of like-minded people to chat about all things related to Cockermouth’s past?

Then the town’s Kirkgate Centre may have just the thing for you!

It’s launching the Cockermouth Chat Group on Thursday, February 6 (1pm), a free monthly opportunity to sit down and share memories about significant events or personal memories of life in the town.

Helen Johnston, Community Projects Officer at the Kirkgate, said: “We’re delighted to launch the Cockermouth Chat Group, which will be free and open to all and take place on the first Thursday of every month from 1pm to 3pm.

“It’s intended to be a time to chat and share memories, over a cup of tea or coffee, on topics from food to school days, to work and travel and all sorts in between.

“We’ll have some photos and artefacts from the Cockermouth Heritage Collection out for you to have a look at with a different theme each month.

“You don’t have to be ‘local’ to join in. Just drop in when you can, no need to book.”

Details about the Chat Group, and all other events, are on the Kirkgate’s website https://kirkgateartsandheritage.org.uk/
