What's on in Middle Sparrowmire

Cumbria, England

Middle Sparrowmire in Cumbria sits quiet enough to hear a robin argue with a sparrow over the last worm, yet it never lacks local colour for what's on this weekend. Without any big venues to shout about, the town relies on community halls and church groups to keep the calendar full of plays and family fun. The whole village feels like one big neighbourhood where everyone knows your name and what you're looking for next Saturday. Near Here makes sure you don't have to drive miles out just to find a comedy night or a craft workshop within easy reach. It's a friendly place where good times are always close by, even if the nearest pub is three streets down.

Exploring Nature's Larder with Jim Parums

Join Jim as he shares his love of sustainable foraging, explains why he believes it’s a healthier and tastier way to eat, provides hints and tips for first-time foragers…and possibly shares a few seasonal treats with us too! Jim is founder and chief forager of Forage Box, who believe that wild and foraged food is tastier, healthier and better for the planet than food bought in the supermarket. Plus, time spent foraging is great for your mental and physical health… and it’s good fun too! Their mission is to reconnect people with nature through what they eat. Forage Box’s motto: Always Wild, Always Sustainable, Always Delicious is something they stand by and they want foraging to be recognised as a better way of sourcing our food. 60 mins presentation plus Q&A Expect samples and species focus for Spring £10.00 per person (If £10 is a stretch, use promo code WIW25 for a free/reduced ticket.) All money raised will come to Waste into Wellbeing to continue the brilliant work we do.

Cookbook Supper

Join us at The Eddington for an evening of good food and convivial dining at our second Cookbook Supper! Your meal will be cooked by Britain’s first three-star Michelin chef, Steven Doherty, a supporter of Waste into Wellbeing for some years and by David Naylor who has cooked in various food establishments over the years, including the legendary Sharrow Bay Hotel, and is now one of our regular Kitchen Leads. Included in the price of your ticket will be 3-Course Supper, reception drink (seasonal, non-alcoholic) and a mystery cookbook which once formed part of Steven’s extensive collection of hundreds of cookery books amassed over nearly 50 years. Steven has very generously donated a large selection of these to support our fundraising effort. You may be lucky and get one of Stevens signed copies! Tickets £35 per person. All profits generated will go to support the work Waste into Wellbeing does to reduce food waste and support our community.
