The first wave of vendors have been announced as Eat Street Cumbria comes back to Whitehaven.

The food, drink and music festival, Eat Street Cumbria, was brought to life by Aaron Groggins and Lakeland Life Events.

This year the first event returns to Whitehaven on Friday, May 1, Saturday 2 and Sunday 3.

A spokesperson for Eat Street Cumbria said: “These eight firm favourite vendors are ready to return and serve up flavors that will blow your taste buds away.

“This is just the beginning.

“We’ll be dropping the second half of the lineup next week, maybe even some new faces.”

The eight returning vendors take you on a trip around not just the county but the world with local produce meeting Asian flavours.

• Art’s Thai Cuisine
• Dirty Dogs
• FaveKravez
• Fodder
• Hollybank Farm
• Jammies Deli
• R Street Food
• Waffling0n

With the food side developing nicely the team also hinted at the musical side of the event with a special performance planned on the opening day.

Along with this Eat Street Cumbria will be heading to Maryport and will be part of the Whitehaven Weekender in August.
