Taste of the Sea Festival 2026

Supported with funding of £25,000 from Maryport Town Council, there will be plenty to experience at Taste Cumbria’s Taste of the Sea Festival in Maryport on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 August 2025! Bigger & better than last year, with more stalls & hot food, you can eat, drink and shop until you drop! Laugh, chatter, relax and watch the live music with your family and friends. Visit the businesses, talk to traders, watch the experts at work, or simply soak up the festival atmosphere.

The Producers’ Market will be on the harbourside & Demonstrations, Entertainment, a Drinks Tent and Hot Food Court will be operating from the Event Space.

Nearby, there will be a Fairground, Face Painting and children’s fun, as well as at Shiver Me Timbers, and all around the town, other venues will be joining in.

With entertainment in the evening, either shows or at local pubs providing live music, it should be a great atmosphere for the whole weekend!
