Cumbria Free Events Weekend, 5 – 6 March

Cumbria Live has launched #cumbriaweekend with the aim of offering dozens of free events across the county.

Imagine a weekend packed with great free events, a weekend to show Cumbria at its best, a weekend in which you could see top class entertainment for free.

A weekend for Cumbrians to get out and enjoy the best the county has to offer, a weekend to get Cumbria trending on Twitter and kickstart the 2014 tourist season.

That weekend is about to happen and it is #cumbriaweekend.
