Together with local residents, businesses, community groups, creative and cultural organisations, and visitors, we are shaping the future of Penrith Town Hall, a Grade II listed landmark in the heart of the town.
How would you transform this iconic building into a venue that will celebrate its history as a civic landmark and reimagine its role for the future as a thriving community space for culture, heritage, creativity, and enterprise?
You are invited to share your views and ideas for the services, activities, and facilities you would like to see in the venue, through a survey and a jam-packed programme of creative events.

There are fewer young people in Eden who are Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET) thanks to a partnership offering holistic support. More than two thirds of the teenagers and young adults who have been supported by the Eden Youth Hub have secured work or completed a training course since it began in 2021.
The scheme is run by Inspira with funding from Department for Work and Pensions - DWP and Westmorland and Furness Council.

Foster carers from across south Cumbria were honoured at the Cumbria Fostering Long Service Awards 2025, held at the Holiday Inn in Barrow.
The awards recognised the incredible dedication of local foster carers, who have devoted between five and 45 years to fostering, and have contributed a remarkable 245 years of fostering between them.
They were welcomed by Mil Vasic, Director of Children’s Services at Westmorland and Furness Council, and Cllr Janet Battye, Cabinet member Children's Services Education and Skills at Westmorland and Furness Council, who also presented our foster carers with their certificates and a gift voucher.
Foster carer Alex Finnie, from Barrow, who received an award for 15 years of fostering, said: “How wonderful to be recognised and awarded for doing a job you love. It's a fantastic feeling knowing you can help a young person reach their potential, watching them grow and become happy and confident.”
