Lots on offer: Festival organiser Bob Pritchard, centre, with performers Katie Gentry and Owen Evans outside Koppers, a new Cockermouth Live! venue
Performers and organisers got together to launch this Year's Cockermouth Live! programme at one of the new venues.
More than 500 local performers will be entertaining audiences at 18 venues including Cockermouth Castle on the weekend of June 28 to 30.
"Cockermouth Live! 2019 is bigger than ever," said a spokesman. "The full programme gives details of all performances, performers, venues and times and is available from many shops and venues across town, including the Library/Tourist Information Centre, Kirkgate Centre and Billy Bowmans."
