COOKERY DEMOS WITH JOHN CROUCH
Get under the skin of Cumbrian cuisine with demonstrations by local celebrity chef John Crouch. You’ll take away lots of practical tips and inspiration from his expert knowledge of historical and traditional dishes, drawing on 30 years of cooking and demonstrating in the UK and internationally. No stranger to the national media, John has featured on TV, radio and in the glossy mags. Unusually, he also specialises in Indian food so bring along your questions about world cuisine, too!

FARMERS’ & ARTISAN MARKET
Stroll around dozens of stalls and meet the producers behind Cumbria’s celebrated foods and beverages, from award-winning meats, cheeses and preserves to delectable cakes, chocolate and locally roasted coffee.
