The August 2024 summer issue of Cumbria Life magazine

Summertime with Cumbria Life - Summer is in full swing and our August issue is packed with ideas of places to go and things to do, whatever the weather.

We explore the new exhibition covering the fascinating history and colourful characters of Lowther Castle. We look ahead to Kendal Calling from the point of view of the charities for which it’s an essential fundraiser, take a walk along the Caldew river and send our regular writers on a day out at some of county’s best attractions.

We pay tribute to Lakeland legend Joss Naylor, and you can follow in his footsteps with our walk in his beloved Greendale.

We also have an exclusive interview with Lili Myers, widow of Hairy Biker Dave. She speaks of his kindness and caring nature, and how thrilled he would have been with the Dave Day biker spectacle.

There’s the usual mix of Food & Drink, Property & Interiors, Outdoors, Social Diary and Arts & Culture with previews of Krankenhaus and the Lake Artists Society summer exhibition.

And if all that wasn’t enough, we reveal the finalists in this year’s Cumbria Life Awards and offer the chance to win tickets to this year’s Westmorland County Show.
