After more than 12 months of uncertainty, businesses across Cumbria are finally opening - or preparing to open - their doors to customers once again.

A succession of lockdowns, tier systems and ever-changing restrictions have made it difficult for many businesses or venues to trade.
While there have been Government grants and entrepreneurial owners have devised new and ingenious ways of serving their communities, nothing compares to welcoming loyal - and new customers - back.
Buildings have been given a new lick of paint or a revamp during lockdown, pubs have established new outdoor seating areas and venues are offering new attractions.
To help celebrate the beginning of a return to normality, Newsquest Cumbria - publisher of The Westmorland Gazette, News & Star, The Cumberland News, Times & Star, The Whitehaven News and The Mail - is offering a free advert to every local business who wants one.
We are working in partnership with the high street to help attract people back to the shops, a move which is vital if independent businesses and the county’s unique shopping experiences are to survive.
But it is about more than just shops. 
The Cumbrian economy also revolves so much around entertainment and leisure, with tourist attractions, pubs, restaurants, cafés and hotels all now facing a fight for survival.
April 12 saw the first major stepping stone on the road to recovery for traders, with many others focused on May 17 - the next step in Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s road map to recovery. 
Vanessa Sims, regional group editor for Newsquest Cumbria, said: “We understand how hard the coronavirus pandemic has been on businesses across our county.
“The idea behind the We’re Open for Business initiative is simple: we want to play our part in helping our economy back on its feet, supporting those traders and businesses who have so often been a lifeline during these difficult past 12 months.
“And now we are asking you, our readers, to embrace your local businesses and stay local.”

Here's a list of the businesses opening or due to open soon and all the details you'll need.
