What's on in Abbotswood

Cumbria, England

Abbotswood sits quietly in Cumbria where the air is crisp and the pace is gentle enough to breathe a sigh of relief. There are no crowds to push you along and the local parks are perfect for a quiet stroll or a sudden burst of energy. We keep an eye on what's coming up so you don't have to hunt through a dozen websites on a rainy Tuesday. From community gatherings to family get-togethers, Near Here gathers it all into one place without the noise.

Rich Hall: Chin Music

Rich Hall is setting out on a new tour in 2025 entitled Chin Music. “Chin Music” has two meanings. One is idle talk. The other is a brushback throw in baseball or cricket to intimidate the batter. Both describe Rich Hall’s comedy. Idle but intimidating. Sharp, quick, splenetic, and sublimely improvisational. If you’ve never seen him, you need to hustle down to your local venue and grab a seat because he never disappoints. Ever.
