Arts and culture will be celebrated in Whitehaven at a free event at the end of October.

The Whitehaven Cultural Fringe Fest will be held at The Solway Hall from Friday October 25 to Sunday October 27. 

It's going to be a weekend packed full of creative activities, fun games, and live entertainment.

Those attending will have the chance to create macrame Christmas trees, get involved in NERF wars, taste delicious food, and listen live music from local musicians. 

There are plenty of other activities taking place throughout the weekend for people to get stuck into. 

It has been funded by the UK Government and Cumberland Council. 

Although it's free to attend, people are asked to register for a ticket on Ticket Source.
