Cumbria’s biggest indoor car boot is relaunching next month.

Cockermouth will see the return of its market on September 6, rebranded as Mitchell’s Sunday Market, with a later start time and the inclusion of additional new local producers.

It comes after a lengthy Covid-19-related closure.

Sunday market coordinator, Ann Cummings said: "The last few months offered us the opportunity to rethink the direction of Mitchell’s Car Boot.

“We had previously spoken to stall holders and browsers and their feedback strongly suggested that a later start time would be welcomed. We have also decided to rename the car boot, Mitchell’s Sunday Market as we think this perfectly describes our impressive mix of sellers.”

The market will start at 9.30am and close at around 12.30pm. Entry is £1.00 per adult, children's entry is free with free parking.

Ann added: “Our new Sunday Market will offer a lovely Sunday morning family activity for visitors near and far.

“The mix of car boot sellers, local food producers and talented crafters means there will be something for everyone and of course our much-loved Fairfield Restaurant, rated by farmers as one of the best in the North of England, will be selling hearty full English breakfasts, sausage, bacon, and egg butties and chips.”

Mitchell’s indoor Sunday Market will be open regardless of the weather.

The company said health and safety will be paramount with social distancing in place, where possible, and regular sanitisation of surfaces.

Visitors and stall holders will be asked to take all necessary precautions including wearing face masks and making use of hand sanitisers.

Mitchell’s Sunday Market is inviting interest from new stall holders.
