Cockermouth Live! and Delicious

7th June 2026 7:00pm (Doors open at 6:00 pm)

Kirkgate Centre

“Cockermouth Live! and Delicious” – a festival fundraising evening with three of the town’s finest food and drink producers.

Learn what they do, how they do it – and why they do it !

Andy Walsh from The Coffee Kitchen Bakery, Stephen Kidd from the Moon and Sixpence and Buster Grant from Jennings Brewery are all passionate about what they do and what they produce for Cockermouth’s residents and visitors. All are experts at their craft. But what are their backstories, how did they end up doing what they do – and why the passion ?

You are invited to come along and enjoy a very special one off evening to hear from the experts and sample lots of their produce too. Your entrance fee includes the chance to try some of Buster’s beer, Andy’s bakery products and Stephen’s coffee. And all being well, there will be a raffle too !

All money raised from this evening’s event will go towards paying for the cost of Cockermouth Live!. There is already enormous goodwill in making the volunteer run festival happen each year. 10 of us meet every month throughout the preceding 12 months to plan it all and then are joined by 30 volunteer stewards for the weekend. And the vast majority of the performers play for free. But. We need to find approximately £30,000 each year to cover the costs of the festival. Cockermouth Live! and Delicious will go some way to helping to do that !
