Food & drink · Cumbria

Five years in, AmbleFest has settled into being Ambleside's best excuse for a weekend out — independent breweries, local musicians and street-food stalls spread across three venues, all within an easy stumble of each other in the town centre.
One ticket covers the run of it: a beer in the Tap Yard, a band at the Flying Fleece, food wherever smells best. Good for a solo wander between venues as much as a group weekend.
