Farmers Markets

We love food here in the Lake District and Cumbria. There is nothing better than completing a long walk over the fells with a hearty meal in a pub serving locally sourced produce. Cumbria has an amazing array of specialities, including the curled Cumberland Sausage, Grasmere Gingerbread, Kendal Mint Cake, and Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding. In fact, we love food so much that we have several days a year dedicated to celebrating our local produce.

FARMERS’ MARKETS

 HAWKSHEAD BREWERY :STAVELEY

Hawkshead Brewery has been brewing real ale since 2002, initially within a converted barn in Hawkshead, before expansion saw it move to its current premises in Staveley. The brewery creates 120 barrels of beer every week, making it one of the larger breweries in the area. Twice a year, the brewery hosts a three-day beer festival in its very own purpose-built beer hall. Along with beers created by the Hawkshead Brewery, you can sample a selection of ales from smaller breweries that have been invited to attend. These are family friend events, and along the with beer, you will find live music and food.
