Talkin Tarn

Countdown to Bank Holiday countryside event

A fun packed 'Curious Countryside' event will be staged at Talkin Tarn country park this August Bank Holiday Monday (27 August).

Free family activities will be held between 10.30am and 4.30pm.

The opportunity to take part in pole lathing, bird box making and willow weaving will all be on offer. Countryside crafts and woodland demonstrations will also be on show.

The event is aimed at all ages and will include a variety of activities to suit all the family.

Organised by Carlisle City Council's Talkin Tarn staff the event will be based around the tarn's tearoom and educational wooden hut.

Fiona Shipp, Talkin Tarn's Manager said:

We want to do as much as possible to make the event a great family day out and we will lay on a wide range of activities to suit all the family. We hope our local residents come out in force to support it.

Talkin Tarn has played host to a variety of community events this year. A Music Festival was held earlier this summer and attracted hundreds of visitors. The annual Regatta was also a success when it was held in early July.
