Lakes & Dales Co-operative is delighted to announce it will sponsor the 4th Penrith Winter Festival, which takes place from 28 November to 24 December 2015.
The Winter Festival is designed to bring the whole community together to showcase what an excellent town Penrith is for locals and visitors alike, and to encourage people to invest in the local economy by shopping locally, whether that’s buying Christmas presents or ingredients for their Christmas dinner.
The festival will include a host of Christmas themed family-friendly fun activities including an #ElfieSelfie competition, a Christmas Jumper Day, a Park Run, Santa’s Post box and Penrith Winter Festival Christmas Market in St Andrews Churchyard.
Penrith Chamber of Trade and Commerce is encouraging schools, community groups and businesses to get in touch and get involved with the Festival to make it even bigger and better than previous years.
Amyn Fazal, President of Penrith Chamber of Trade and Commerce said: “A lot of hard work goes into the planning of the Winter Festival and we have some great ideas in place for 2015. We hope businesses will really get on board and join in with the Festival and that people from Penrith and right across Cumbria come and experience some of the great events, activities and promotions we have to offer.”
He continued: “The funding and sponsorship we receive for the Festival really helps get things going, but participation from the local community and businesses is what really makes an event like this special, shows off the town and encourages people to visit time and time again.”
