What is it?
Cockermouth came to the country’s attention in November last year when the most cataclysmic flooding of the two rivers that meet in the town washed away a lot of the Main Street and many old stone bridges. The Georgian Fair had been in the planning stage since the last one in 2008, and in January they decided to go ahead with the event despite the town being in a somewhat “interesting state”.
