Christmas festivities in Carlisle

Early Christmas festivities for the whole family can be a perfect way to celebrate your winter holiday break with shopping, lights and outdoor events ideal for people young and old.

There could be no better place to experience a small town Christmas than in the cosy Cumbrian towns, which offer warm and comfortable refuges in bed and breakfasts and other accommodation.

Visit the city of Carlisle in the Lake District that will host a Christmas market with 80 stalls from December 1st to the 9th. Children will love the premiere performance of the famous puppet theatre created by master craftsman Stan Parker while a tree will be lit up at the start of the festival to commemorate the season's arrival.

Families large or small can find easy and affordable accommodation in the capital city of Cumbria that still maintain the great outdoors feel on premiere locations alongside fells and lakes. Try the Willowbeck Lodge in Carlisle which offers rooms overlooking its lake decorated in the high-beamed lodge style that is just right for getting cosy during winter.
