Customer Reviews
Fantastic music venue. We saw excellent Billy Joel/Elton interpretion show with John Reilly / Lewis N. Excellent evening
Amazing 30th Anniversary celebration at Cockermouth Castle today. Organisation of the day was slick from the tasty picnic, to the Poetry tour, music, theatre and magic. Beautiful surroundings in which to celebrate this special occasion for such a vital part of the Cockermouth community. Many thanks and looking forward to the future events you have planned.
We called in to see the local photo history exhibition and the office staff were very helpful in letting us see the theatre space as i wanted to check legroom before booking for film showing. I would recommend to locals or tourists interested in arts and heritage
