An iconic Cumbrian festival is again being spread Down Under.

The National Trust of South Australia working in partnership with the World’s Original Marmalade Awards, founded at Dalemain near Penrith, to stage the Australian Marmalade Awards for the second year.

Last year marmalade makers responded enthusiastically to the first Australian Marmalade Awards, launched using the hugely successful model of Cumbria's event.

Cumbrian festival founder Jane Hasell-McCosh said: "Australians have always entered phenomenal marmalade into the World’s Original Marmalade Awards, owing in part to how fresh their fruit is. I am looking forward to trying some incredible flavours, and can’t wait to find a winner."
