Heather Holmes, Copeland Council's Customer Service and Visitor Experience Manager, said: "It's an opportunity to get a gang of friends together and relax with our panoramic views of the harbour.

"It provides a great start to your Friday night and if popular, we hope it could become the first of many events."

Tickets for Fizzy Friday cost £22 and include food, grazing platters, and four glasses of prosecco per person. The prosecco can be replaced with non-alcoholic mocktails.
