A star-studded cast, traders reporting their best sales yet, and streets packed with smiling visitors – this weekend saw another great Taste Cumbria festival in Cockermouth. Edith and Sean were filming in Cockermouth over the festival weekend with Taste Cumbria regulars Andy Walsh of The Coffee Kitchen Bakery and Tony Harrison of Harrison’s Butchers, alongside Irini Tzortzoglou, the MasterChef winner, who was appearing on the festival’s demonstration stage. Edith Bowman said: “I grew up in a hotel so food has always been part of my DNA. "Taste Cumbria just gets bigger and better.”Taste Cumbria is organised by Allerdale Borough Council and supported by Cockermouth Town Council, The Coffee Kitchen Bakery, Cartmell Shepherd Solicitors, Tractor Shed Brewing, The Trout Hotel, The Vicky Shared Workspace, Peter Sidwell’s Kitchen, Cockermouth Cricket Club, Tithe Tap, Rock With and Newsquest Cumbria. There’s one more festival this year - Taste Cumbria Christmas in Cockermouth on December 10 and 11.
