A community arts organisation is set to host its first-ever sporting goods sale.

Kirkgate Arts and Heritage's sale is based on the same formula that made its Cockfrock event a 'big annual hit'.

The new event, named Kirk Kit, is scheduled for September 28 and 29 at the Kirkgate Centre in Cockermouth.

The event will run from 10.30am until 4pm.

Entry to the event is free, and everyone attending will be entered into a prize draw for a chance to win a glamping break.

Emma Heys, general manager at Kirkgate, said: "After the years of successful sales through Cockfrock, we wanted to offer a similar chance to sell unwanted sports and exercise equipment.

"It's the same format as Cockfrock, but for clothing and equipment for all sports, outdoor activities, camping, water activities, cycling, and more.

"There will be men's and women's equipment on sale, for all ages, adult and children."

The idea for Kirk Kit was born out of community feedback.

Ms Heys said: "Over the years of holding Cockfrock sales, we have had lots of people asking us why don’t we do the same for other items?

"We like to take the communities’ suggestions on board."

"We’ve got a fantastic range of items on sale from pre-loved activity clothes and shoes, to bikes, rucksacks, tents and sports equipment, skis, golf clubs, weights and much more.

"All good quality and reasonably priced.

“We’re hoping that Kirk Kit will prove as popular with the sporting community as Cockfrock has with the fashionistas."
