Illustrated map of UK towns and villages

Events in Cumbria

Pick a town to see what's on — from quiz nights to kids' workshops, there's always something happening round the corner.

Cumbria sits snugly between the Lake District fells and the Solway Firth, a stretch of land where the rain is frequent but the spirit remains dry. We find that Street and Watermillock often host their own little festivals without needing to shout across the valley. Even the smaller villages like Wreay and Corney keep the calendar full with local shows and community gatherings.

Near Here does the heavy lifting so you don't have to trawl through a dozen pages on a Sunday night. Whether you fancy a quiz in Scurgill or just want to hear about what's on, we've probably already found it for you.

Handy if you already know the place and don't fancy alphabet aerobics.
