The 47 best places to go out in Carlisle

Loved this place. Great service. Menu amazing. Although no kids menu they made so much effort with my little girls and gave them small portions. Best cauliflower (burger) I've ever tasted. We live two hours away and I'd consider driving it just for that! 😄

We were a party of 6 adults and 2 kids, who had booked a few days in advance for a Saturday afternoon lunch and a couple of drinks. We were led to a downstairs table which was perfect for our party. Great buzz around the place from the customers at other tables, with a feeling of still being quite private. Ideal for conversation with the music not overly loud. Food order was taken swiftly and drinks were brought first. We had all came down from Edinburgh with only a few hours in town, so the service was fast which we appreciated. Food was excellent, portions were plentiful and tasty. Good value for money and a wide range of menu choices. Anything left on plates was because of the volume of food!! Adult portion was halved for kids; no problem for staff to accommodate this request. Cannot fault the staff on duty on Saturday 11/10 at 14:15....I was particularly impressed with each of the staff who attended to us. Would highly recommend and would definitely travel +1hour to do it again. Well worth a visit 👍🏼

Popped in here on the off chance I might find a GLUTEN FREE choice , and I was right!! The GLUTEN FREE MENU is very impressive, lots of choice!! I went for the Spring Chicken dish which was very well cooked , very well presented, and very tasty!! I just came to Carlisle for my tea as I'd travelled from Settle on the beautiful, scenic railway, and I have to say , I made a great choice!! The staff were very helpful and polite too , which makes a refreshing change!!

My family are from Essex and we are on holiday and wanted a really good sunday roast and due to the other very positive reviews we tried this place. And i can say with full confidence that that was the best roast i have had in a very long time. I couldn’t put my fork down and i’m honestly so happy that i found this place because ei have no bad things to say about it. Staff are very friendly and very welcoming when i had a person in a wheelchair with me, they offered us use of a ramp with the front entrance and moved chairs out the way for them. They also have a disabled toilet on the lower floor and regular toilets upstairs that were really nicely decorated. The atmosphere in the place is really nice and i thoroughly recommend this place to everyone. IF U WANT THE BEST ROAST EVER COME HERE ON A SUNDAY.

This place looks incredible with the exposed brickwork, copper piping lights and scene filled resin tables. Service was quick, plenty of ales on tap, food was tasty. I had the flat iron steak, cooked perfectly, my only critique would be a little over seasoned. Highly recommend.

Food was nice. Initial service from greeter made us feel like an inconvenience from the outset. Ok it was a walk in and we didn't reserve a table, simply tell us no room and we would find somewhere else. After pointed to "that table over there" by the maitre d a nice lady came over who was very polite and took ours drinks order. Then back to misery guts who asked if we were ready to order, one of us hadn't decided so he stood over us waiting for a choice and impatiently said he could start with anyone. How about get lost for 2 mins whilst we choose? Anyway the food was actually really nice. Nice lady checked on us to make sure all was ok and to ask if more drinks were needed. Good sized helpings. Sadly no room for dessert. Go back? Probably not after that welcome. Either face didn't fit or someone was having a bad day. Don't take it out on the customers fella.

Fantastic place - their steak was amazing, good wine and excellent service. Will definitely return

A really interesting castle and the most iconic site in Carlisle. This is a must visit site when in the city and entry also includes access to the military museum housed on site. There are lots of areas to explore within the castle including well preserved structures.

The Castle is very impressive and the staff were absolutely passionate and knowledgeable. They gave great insights and getting the guide book made it easier to know where you were and find out more about each venue. The added bonus of the war museum showed great history as well. Definitely worth a visit and £15 to get in was not bad.

I had decided to have a bit of a wounder in and around town, the castle, Tullie house then get something to eat before head home. Had an explore around the castle witch was fun or it was rather empty I was expecting more things in the rooms. But saying g that it was still worth the money decided recommend to everyone.

Every time we come home, we visit and find something we didn't notice the last time. Staff here are extremely knowledgeable and I recommend doing the tour! Carlisle has some of the most interesting history through all ages in time.

We visited on a Saturday around 12pm and it was not busy, we were able to book tickets online and we were admitted quickly. The site has a lot of history and you can access the military museum as well as a fascinating keep. There are facilities including a cafe and gift shop.

Fantastic castle, just on the outskirts of Carlisle town centre. There are many rooms, floors, and wall walks to explore with great views of the surrounding area. Huge carpark just outside chargeable but something like £3 for the day. Small gift shop and cafe on site also.

Stunning piece of history. Today we had 2 trainee tour guides, they both knew their history and facts about the every facet of the Castle's history; however, one was slightly softer spoken and tolds us about the armoury and testing gas masks & was kind enough to invite us on tour of the dungeons with a larger group, when he really didn't need to. (Only wish I had asked this kind gentlemans name). Easy to park. Limited access for disabled, but still enough to soak in the history. (Even if upstairs is off limits) Cobbled stones in areas. A little cafe, limited allergy options, but cold drinks and ice cream.

A spectacular old cathedral in the northeast corner of England. It is a personal favorite and I would recommend a visit. Begin in 1123 in the Norman style, it was built with local red sandstone. Much of the church was rebuilt in the 13th century in the Gothic style. The ceiling is spectacular. Owen Jones designed and specified the painted star ceiling in Carlisle Cathedral’s choir during its 1856 restoration under architect Ewan Christian. The wooden barrel vault dates to the 14th century, but the medieval scheme was lost, and Jones—a prominent Victorian decorative artist known for his work on the Crystal Palace interiors—created the blue background with gold stars and angels, drawing from historical styles. It was later repainted in 1970 for preservation, maintaining Jones’s original vision. The east window is impressive. It is the largest and most complex such window in England at 51’ by 26’. It depicts events from the life of Christ; some of the panes in the upper portion are original, dating back to 1350. Parking in the area is good. There are several car parks within half a mile.

So nice to be able to wander around with the dog. It’s a beautiful cathedral with some unique points of interest, including the ceiling. Perhaps not the most impressive in the country but it holds its own. The grounds are also very pleasant.

I visited the cathedral on June 2nd and was warmly welcomed by the kindest staff. Two gentlemen offered me a map, pointed out the must-see spots, and shared a timetable. They also noticed that my friend had stayed outside with his dog and proactively let me know that dogs are allowed inside. That thoughtful gesture really stood out. It was heartwarming to see how genuinely kind and attentive they were. And the cathedral itself? Absolutely stunning. Truly worth a visit!

Very old and interesting. The stain glass windows are in very good shape considering the age. The organ pipes along with the organ itself are really worth the visit. There are lots of buildings on the site which you can look around the library is interesting the entrance to which is through the cafe, the cafe has a large area outside and quite a large area inside the food is good. Would recommend trip here.

Today, accompanied by both my sons and grandmas, we spent a truly memorable two hours at Carlisle Cathedral—an experience that was both calming and profoundly awe-inspiring. The cathedral’s serene atmosphere speaks volumes beyond words, inviting quiet reflection within its historic, hallowed walls. We were fortunate to be greeted by a highly knowledgeable guide who kindly provided us with a detailed map and patiently answered all our questions, enriching our visit immeasurably. Although the organ wasn’t playing this week due to half-term, which was a slight disappointment, it gave us an opportunity to treasure the visual and spiritual grandeur of the space even more deeply. We took the chance to purchase a CD of the cathedral’s magnificent organ music, promising to carry a piece of the experience home with us. Carlisle Cathedral, with its timeless beauty and thoughtful stewardship, is a gem that left us inspired and grateful—a place to revisit time and again with loved ones.

Magnificent, pocket sized, deep-red sandstone cathedral, with a magical painted ceiling that will give you neckache for the time you will want to keep marvelling at it. It’s a small building with a pretty cloister, not really something you’d spend more than half an hour poking around, but if you’re in Carlisle, it’s definitely worth going out of your way to go and see this. Check opening times though, it isn’t always open. And maybe help support the cathedral by having a bite to eat at the cathedral cafe, as in the UK, this really is one of a kind - painted ceilings like this are what you see occasionally in France, but very rare in the UK. I remember being blown away the first time I saw it, I’d never seen anything of the kind before. Quiet, rarely many people, you’ll generally have the place to yourself.

Stunning cathedral…. Unfortunately we only managed to get a glimpse as it was graduation day and the ceremony was on. Lots of work going on in Carlisle which will only enhance the town more. Lots of shops, the centre is quite big with major dept stores. Lots of eateries and pubs, spoilt for choice really.

Excellent museum, the dinosaur exibit very well laid out and informative. Plenty of space inside for wheelchairs users. Recommend to buy the annual pass as there is loads to see.

Tullie House has always been my favourite museum in the North West- Rich in local and Border History, Tullie House never fails to impress. Their limited time exhibitions are always presented to a very high standard, and I recently visited the rEvolution Dinosaur exhibit, which was a solid 10/10. The Tullie refurbishment makes the building look fresh and new.

Attractive local museum which has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment. Nice cafe and arts and crafts related talks are sometimes held. Cafe gave a positive impression, did not consume anything there. Only looked at some free displays, some impressive artefacts like a prehistoric gold bangle and a large key to one of the old city gates. Attractive tiled stairway, mosaic floor and bannister with coats of arms

The kids absolutely loved it. It is so changed since I have been there. The exhibitions were great and the Dino exhibit was really interesting.

It’s our second visit to Tullie Gallery this year – and once again, the exhibition left us truly impressed! 🎨😍✨ There’s something about this place that keeps calling us back… always inspiring, always worth it. 💫🖼️ If you’re ever in Carlisle, don’t miss it! 📍👀 #TullieGallery #ArtVibes #CarlisleCulture #GalleryLove 💕🎭

The extra exhibition of dinosaur world is interesting and informational. However, at the lower floor of Roman exhibition was disappointing. For example, my young grandson was spelling out a name,that required a ,"u" after helping to search, no u's , so I spoke to assistant, apparently, no U's. This does not take into consideration, that our children learn phonetically, having a letter missing, is annoying. The rest of our explore was fine.

Recently opened exhibition Dinosaur rEvolution is well worth visiting. Great fun for a family and people of all ages. New discoveries about dinosaurs led to the new way of thinking about how they looked and how they lived. It is bright, it is interactive, it is informational, and it is fun.

Amazing Sunday Roast! Came for my Wifes Birthday with are little Boy and we were blown away with how tasty everything was. I had the starter of chicken goujons with a cheese and BBQ sauce, it was delicious. We both had the roast 10/10 ❤ finished off with cookie dough and the OB sticky toffee pudding. The staff were very professional and polite. Suggesting the burger for are one year old who couldn't get enough if it ! We are looking forward to coming back 😊

Fantastic experience at The Old Bank! We came as a group of foodies with kids and we were very well looked after. The service was quick (we had pre-ordered), the staff caring and helpful and the food was delicious! I had Sunday Roast Chicken and it was a bit dry but my starter (fish cake) and the side of cauliflower cheese was so delicious that it compensated for it. Those who had the roast beef absolutely loved it. Quirky place. Lovely vibes.

We went to The Old Bank for a Sunday Roast, and it was epic! The portions were huge, the meat cooked to perfection and came with all the trimmings. The staff and service were just incredible - all were super friendly, attentive, and really lovely. They allow dogs too, and made a proper fuss of our 2 Frenchies, so we all felt very well looked after. We also had the madras kiev and lasagne bites starters, which were amazing, and also very generous portions. Highly recommend this great restaurant to anyone in the area. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Carlisle!

What an absolute gem of a find! The Old Bank exceeded all expectations – the food was excellent, full of flavour and beautifully presented. The cocktails were fantastic, crafted with real care and creativity. The service was just as impressive – warm, friendly, and attentive without ever being overbearing. Matt and Harry have created something really special here, and it shows in every detail of the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back again soon. A big well done to the team – highly recommended!

Blown away by The Old Bank! As soon as I read the menu outside I was already interested by the choices the chef had made, and I was not disappointed. I ordered the steak and beef cheek pie and my partner ordered the Chicken supreme, we both cleaned out plates. The decor is quirky and fun and the toilets were even very nice! If I lived anywhere near Carlisle, I'd be here all the time!

4th October 2025 were booked in arrived on time but a large group were in and Obviously did not want to leave when they were meant to . Staff poor at dealing with this and we along with several other couples had to wait 20 minutes before tables cleared and cleaned . During this time I asked for a drink but the waitress wasn’t very clued up and the gin and tonic I ordered she was going to put cola in it !! When it did Come it was drowned in tonic with no taste of gin . This was replaced by a manager .we were looking forward to a great meal as reviews were great what we got was not the best .we ordered a pie which sounded fabulous it came with mash carrots and a sauce all of these were good but the pie was small the pastry dry and the crust burnt and the filling almost non existent very disappointing. We did order a sweet my wife had sticky toffee pudding which she said was excellent and I had a run and raisin dish with banana. It has some sort of pastry as part of it which was not great I found the raisins and the banana but no a taste that would suggest any rum had been In it . Overall I appreciate the place was very busy and the group of approximately 30 persons who overstayed their time had caused problems and maybe we suffered as a result of this but this was a special meal for my wife’s birthday and it was not a great experience

Came in off the street ( very rainy!) and knew nothing about the place. Amazing food - my partner and I shared a first course - risotto - and a main course - steak pie. Absolutely delicious and more than enough for the two of us. Highly recommended!!

A Sunday train to Carlisle, a brief escape on a grey, windy afternoon. A short stroll led us to The Last Zebra - a name that promises something a little different, and a modern, lively interior that delivers. It's busy, popular, and suits almost any company. Service was a highlight: our Canadian server, with her soft English and warm manners, made the visit even brighter. Food was quick, simple and well done. A charming spot to linger over a meal or simply watch the world go by. As for the name, it's cheeky, memorable, and entirely justified. The Last Zebra isn't just the last of its kind; it's one you'll hope to see again. ✨🦓

The food here tasted great! Also a nice place for drinks. I would go back if I was in the city again

Absolutely amazing, would definitely recommend. The food is a bit pricey, but the portion size and flavour is absolutely worth it. The staff were lovely and it was an overall amazing experience. I had the ruby curry naan and it was amazing.

We came here on a recommendation from a lady at the military museum in the castle and we are so glad we did! The best food we had all week and very good service too. We had halloumi fries, broccoli and green beans with Parmesan, chunky fried fish as a three dishes deal (£26) plus chicken kebabs. Really great beers too

We booked here after our usual place was fully booked on a Sunday. We were seated quickly by the polite staff. We ordered 3 different drinks from the juice bar section of the drinks menu , that arrived promptly, and were beautiful! When the waitress came to take our order, we were disappointed to hear that the lamb and chicken Sunday roasts had sold out, this was a bit of a blow because that's exactly why we'd gone in, it would have been appreciated if we had been told about this before we had ordered the drinks, it was only 3pm, but guessed that they may have been previously very busy. Myself and my husband opted for the beef dinner, my daughter opted for the chicken karaage. When dinner arrived, it was presented well, it looked very appealing. It tasted nice, but would have been nicer if it had been warmer, so slightly disappointed .My daughter loved and recommends the chicken. Overall the decor was tasteful. The staff were really polite and friendly but we felt that the food was a bit of a let down. Drinks were amazing though. So we may give this place another go, but maybe earlier on in the day!

As expected. All was good, had tapas and was lovely. Thankyou. Loved the beer selection as well.

Lovely food and friendly staff, a must if you are in the area.

Had an absolute blast at Walkabout! The energy was on point — great music, lively crowd, and solid drink options. What really stood out was the service — Thalia behind the bar was incredible. Super friendly, quick with the drinks, and just a great vibe all around. She really made the night feel even more fun. Can’t wait to come back!

The bouncers didn't check our IDs and while I was in the patio area, I was told by a bouncer to have 'some respect for myself' even though there were many people wearing much less than me as it was Halloween. Also, my friend wasnt allowed back in after having fresh air and was unable to get their things. The bouncers were incredibly unprofessional and were acting like they were on a power trip instead of prioritising the safety of the customers.

Travelling through Carlisle for a trip and spent the night at Walkabout. Archie was, no, is the best server in the world. My girlfriend was really picky on drinks and he was able to help whilst still serving loads of people and not making us feel forgotten. You don’t find good customer service in young people nowadays but this man is incredible

Been a couple of times when we've been passing through Carlisle. The food is ok for what you get, feel like the prices don't reflect the portions. The tables seem to always be sticky too.

We did a bottomless brunch here. Thalia was our server she was so lovely and helpful. She was quick at serving us drinks and she also let us modify some drinks that weren’t on the menu. It was the perfect brunch

Visited this weekend on a trip up to the north, was served by Thalia who provided incredible service for my entire visit. She is a credit to your team and I will be returning and recommending to friends and family!!

Don’t remember how I got there. Don’t remember how I left. All I know is that as soon as I stepped in the building, Archie appeared out of thin air like the answers to all my prayers. My guy was pouring drinks like his life depended on it. Fast. Flawless. Utterly, truly majestic. At one point i saw him make six shots with one hand and hype up a group of girls with the other. Pretty sure he called one of them a queen and it healed her emotional trauma. He isn’t just some random guy on the bar…he’s also a part time therapist. He handed me a shot of tequila and comforted me while I sobbed uncontrollably about my dead stick insects—told me it was okay to hate my mother for feeding them to my crusty cat that has no teeth and smells like beef hoola hoops. His presence heals all wrong in your life. I would follow this man into war. I would name my first born child after him. If he told me to fight the devil himself, I would do it with no questions asked. If you go here and Archie isn’t working…leave. If he is, prepare for the best night of your life. All hail Archie.

Our favourite place in the city. Top tier hospitality and customer service. Truly delicious cocktails and a broad selection of wines. The most beautiful, atmospheric, hidden gem, in Carlisle, The Lane is stunning inside, every floor of the bar is different, with many cozy areas, including a roaring open fire downstairs, perfect for cocktails on a cold Winter night. I love it and we cannot wait to come back!

Always my favourite bar in Carlisle. The staff, drinks and decor are second to none. Whether it’s a lovely day enjoying the beer garden or a typical English weather day enjoying being sat by the fire this bar has it all covered. The hospitality is always out of this world and brings that elevated extra touch each time you visit. The attention to detail on the design of each area really makes each space luxurious and different to typical bars, highly recommended a visit for any occasion.

Great friendly service as always! Lovely warm and cozy atmosphere with a very good drink selection. Perfect for a quite drink or with a group! Roll on the summer sun to take advantage of the stunning beer garden.

Beautiful, atmospheric bar in a historical building which only adds to the ambience. Staff are friendly and attentive, drinks are well-priced. A must if you're visiting Carlisle.

Drinks around 6pm. Place had a good choice of drink and a lively atmosphere.

What a gem of a place. Lovely place, atmosphere and staff. Can't rate the food as we didn't eat. Would thoroughly recommend.

Love this quirky bar! I call every time I'm in Carlisle! Be back very soon!

Had a beautiful pint of guiness here as a Irish women I'm hard to please and let me tell you the fella Ollie did well I mean speaks for itself. Staff are so lovely and atmosphere on a Saturday was unreal good shout if visiting Carlisle! Thank you

Cracking little bar, nice location and friendly staff. We had a few drinks here the other weekend whilst celebrating our anniversary and bumped into some old pals so were there for quite a while, felt right at home - it is small, it can get busy - as can any bar. Everyone was having a good time and the atmosphere was mint

First visit late on a Friday night. The staff were fabulous, friendly and helpful. A very good choice of gins, where I was able to try one that was new to me. It's located at the top corner of Botchergate so perfect for watching the world go by. Located opposite the Citadel it's a great first stop off the bus or train. It's a small bar, but set out well to maximise space. It was clean and tidy too. As it was still warm we chose to sit outside, where staff checked on our needs and advised us of last orders. I am definitely going to visit again as I feel I could easily while away time relaxing here.

We visited a couple of nights ago while in the area. The staff were super friendly, drinks reasonably priced and the board games were a great touch! The decor of the place is super pretty too. Thoroughly enjoyed our night. Will definitely be back if we visit the area again. Thank you!

We initially loved this bar on our day out in Carlisle. We met here 1st and it had a great vibe. We came back late afternoon prior to getting our trains home. My daughter went to the toilet. Was gone less than 1 min and came back to our table outside. One of the bar staff came running out after her saying ‘Have you just been sick in the toilets - someone’s left lots of toilet roll everywhere’. My daughter prostrated that she’d had just been in there for a very quick pee- but the staff member was so rude. It totally ruined the bar for us and we left. Please be careful what you accuse people of! We were just having a drink before our train. Not drunk and certainly not vomiting!

Me and my friend visited this place earlier this week. We were looking for a safe place to leave our luggages while visiting Carlisle city. We were advised at the train station to go to this bar so we did :-) there was absolutely amazing and very friendly staff who took our heavy bags and kept them safe. We could enjoy our city walk and later on we actually had some drinks before our train was scheduled. I seriously would like to recommend this bar not only for your luggage storage but also for drinks and having a good time there :-)

Absolutely gorgeous cocktails! Particularly the Bay Breeze .. possibly my new favourite cocktail 😋 Very friendly staff too😊

CAN I JUST STATE THAT MYSELF AND MY DISABLED SISTER WENT TO YOUR DISABLED TOILET AND I WAS TOLD BY AN UN PROVISIONAL LOCAL THAT THERE CAN ONLY BE 1 PERSON ALLOWED IN TOILET BECAUSE MY SISTER WAS NOT IN WHEEL CHAIR.MY SISTER HAD CATHETER ON WHICH WITH HER DISABILITY SHE STRUGGLED TO EMPTY.CAN YOU TRAIN YOUR STAFF THAT DISABILITY SHOULD NOT BE SHUNED BY YOUR LOCAL IDEATE TO THE RIGHT OF THE BAR.PEOPLE WHO ARE DISABLED CAN GET DRESSED UP.....THINK TWICE PEOPLE WHO NO NOTHING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE DISABLED.IF YOUR DISABLED I WOULD STAY CLEAR OF THIS BAR.

Had a blast over the weekend staff mint and doormen are brilliant so funny yet still on the ball if out to happen : cheap drinks as well cheapest place we went . Just canny all round . Defo worth a visit. Even bagged me self a straw key ! If you na you na lol

Very busy pub about 50 yards from Railway Station Cheep & cheery, good atmosphere

Nice place, didn't see any food on offer?? Good beer, wish there were a couple of real ales on tap though!

A large boozer close to Carlisle Station, when you walk in The Caledonian it feels old fashioned but the bar staff are friendly and the prices are very reasonable.

Nice, sporty bar, plenty of choice for drinks and not expensive

Was in Carlisle for the weekend went into the Caledonian with my husband to watch rangers n celtic play and we were personally verbally abused by celtic supportas we had to leave in the end as it was too much staff done nothing

A fantastic opportunity today bringing the team down to play, I also got to have the best tour and speak to lots of the staff here, capacity of almost 18k wow, this place was bigger than I thought, a brilliant day but now it's time for the 90mins drive back, until the next time!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⚽️ shame the souvenir shop is closed Wednesdays that's all but hey still lots to see an do🏆🏅⚽️⭐️🌈🎉

Brunton Park is an old-school stadium with lots of terraces for the home fans. The stadium could do with an upgrade, but the current stadium has lots of character. Away stand is off centred, and your seat could potentially be beyond the goal line or corner. Toilets could be better by having warm water. They allow away fans to put flags on the unused terraces behind the goal. Not much of an atmosphere from the home fans when they are struggling. Great fanzone outside with lots of options to eat and drink, e.g., sunday roast in a giant Yorkshire pudding, fish and chips, etc.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Brunton Park, the historic home of Carlisle United Football Club, and the experience left me impressed. One of the most notable aspects of Brunton Park is its traditional charm. It's a stadium that exudes character and history, standing as a testament to the club's deep roots in the community. The older architecture and design elements give it a unique and authentic feel, offering a departure from the more modern stadiums you often find today. The views from the stands are excellent, ensuring that spectators have a great vantage point to watch the action on the pitch. The seating arrangements are comfortable, and the facilities are well-maintained, I would image they provide an enjoyable experience for fans. In addition, the staff at Brunton Park were welcoming and hospitable, adding to the overall positive experience. The club's dedication to its fans is evident in the warm and friendly atmosphere they cultivate. All in all, Brunton Park is a gem. Its rich history and traditional charm make it a must-visit for football enthusiasts. It's a place where you can truly connect with the essence of the sport and the pride of Carlisle United Football Club.

Old school stadium with terraces. One newer stand. Has a bit of character. Enjoyed my visit during the 2-2 draw with stevenage.

Proper old school football ground. Have been before and l always enjoyed the trip. Parking adjacent to the ground for just £3. Easy to get to from the motorway. Ground full of character and good for away fans.

If the team were as good as the stewards they would be in the Premier League! Visited with our two children and the stewards were so helpful getting us in and during our visit. The mascot was super friendly and was great with the kids, playing peek-a-boo! It's just a shame the first team couldn't match the same standard.

Great win for Carlisle should of been 5

Great venue with great sound too. Standing only bit this only adds to the atmosphere. Beer was also good value for money. Only around 5 mins walk from the bus station. 10 from the train station. Definitely worth another visit

Nice small venue on the periphery of the city, plenty of parking spaces, free on street parking after 7pm, car park across from the front door charges 24/7 but but not that expensive. There is a large bar as you go in which is opened up early, so you don't need to queue in the rain! I was down to see Dutch rockers FOCUS, it was unallocated seating, not sure if it is always the case, I managed to get a front row seat, there was a gap between seat and stage so you're not pressed up to the stage, the sound quality was excellent, someone must have told the sound engineer that there are mid and high frequencies. - it's not all about the bass! Focus were brilliant. The toilets were clean, staff friendly. The only slight negative was the light rig, had a bright white light shining into my face all night, don't know why lights are positioned behind the band facing out into the audience. As this venue is only about a two hour drive I hope to visit it again.

Brilliant venue,been here a few times never disappointed 🤘🎸

An excellent venue for shows and live music. I've been, a few times, to see bands and comedy acts. Up front and personal. Bar, at the side of the hall, is a good size and service is always quick. Good selection of drinks, all served in plastic for safety reasons. Parking opposite and 100 m from a local bus stop. Bus station is only about 700 m walk.

Visited to see Angela Barnes. The place was spotless, the staff super friendly and the show was great. Perfect small venue.

Saw a show recently, was a good venue, small as expected and good priced beer

Food - 3/5 Ambiance - 3/5 Accessibility - 5/5 Cost - 4/5 Service - 4/5 Summary - 4/5 Once a fire station for Carlisle, it is now an arts and entertainment venue. When I visited, part of the ground floor area was sectioned off and a baby 'disco' was being held! Besides the function area, the ground floor also holds the box office and the McGrew's restaurant where I stopped for lunch. The Hunter chicken burger was okay; good portion, reasonable price. Upstairs, there are more functions rooms and also the Carlisle Contemporary Art gallery (free to visit). Tip: Visit the website and read about the history of the place. Overall, it's a good place, well maintained/staffed and seems like a decent venue for various activities. The history side to the fire station is also interesting!

What a trek but what a loverly humble place a right old football stadium the typical kind but holds a special place in the community I had a nice walk round the place it s nice to come across these old but classic football stadium a dying breed indeed but the club shop had plenty more n offer a nice walk round take it all in .

Couldn't leave Carlisle without paying a visit to one of footballs true outposts, Brunton Park, home of Carlisle United. I've had a soft spot for the 'Cumbrians' since the 1970's when they graced the old First Division for one season, 1974/75. These days they are struggling for survival in League Two and have appointed the old warhorse; Mark Hughes as manager to try and save them. It was nice to finally see Brunton Park, the pitch looked in good nick, the ground is well maintained but the club needs a genuine financial investor to kick start this fine old club and push it forward. Carlisle United are a proud club with a loyal fan base. I wish them well and hope they achieve success in future.

Lovely stadium and pitch. Disappointed that the food and drinks area was to small for The amount of away fans (1000). Staff worked tirelessly but waiting times were over 30 minutes. Glad I bought sandwiches. Friendly staff and low key policing made it a pleasure to visit.

Not a great experience getting jumped 1 nil at home by Morecambe our closest rivals to escape relegation to the Conference which I now can't see being stopped ...poor manager Barcelona ideas with conference players = relegation. Get that team pushed up get that ball.in the opposition half from the keeper or whoever and make it very difficult for the other team to get it out of there half ...stop playing defenders as left wingers there not. Try buying a right winger who can control a football firstly and secondly has pace and Can go PAST people ...truly shocking. Whoever is advising Piataks on players and managers needs to go it's too late now .

Nice little ground for travelling fans. The food was ok too

Great day out to this stadium. Although we lost met some good friends and people from Carlisle Good luck next season

Carlisle 3 - 2 port Vale. What a cracking game to enjoy. Great experience,

The atmosphere, service and food at Royal Outpost are all top notch! I was visiting Carlisle for a project and happened across this treasure. My prawn and pork belly starter (yes I ordered two don’t judge me) was delicious and decadent, and the beef so tender and wholesome with spice and flavour. If you are visiting Carlisle, make this your stop. If you’re not, it’s worth the trip!

We came to Carlisle from Glasgow for the first time, over the weekend! Obviously we haven't booked anything for the evening 🫣 walk in and we're amazed! Good for wee ones as well! P.S. Of course we had to had dessert 😀, unfortunately the wee one already started the Sticky toffee pudding before talking a picture! Outside area and 2 levels inside ready to welcome you! Worked as a chef for 18 years and it's really hard to impress me 😅 but they managed! Well done and thank you! 🤗

Lovely find on a work trip away. Had a fish curry - came with rice. Delicious. Such genuine flavours. Other customers seemed to be enjoying their food too from what I could hear.

Beautiful Asian/Thai style food, bao buns are fantastic as is the Korean dolsot bibim bap on the lunch menu, absolute gem of a place, our new go-to restaurant that we wish we'd discovered years ago.

we’ve been here multiple times now and never once left disappointed! sad to see that it’s never really busy because the food is really good and it’s not too expensive. recommend the bao buns and the spring rolls :) the staff is always really accommodating to any requests.

Really delicious... As someone who lived in Asia for 13 years I can say that it's pretty authentic ✨💯

Honestly, this place is unreal! The food was banging – full of flavour and cooked perfectly. Proper 10/10 meal, I couldn’t fault a thing. We ate some absolutely banging dishes – seafood was on point! The staff were sound too, really friendly and looked after us well. Vibes were great, food came out hot and fresh, and everything just hit the spot. Hands down one of the best places I’ve eaten in Carlisle – I’ll definitely be back!

Called in here for lunch with friends. Delicious pizzas and really helpful staff. Will definitely be dining here again the next time I'm in Carlisle.

We dined here last night after a suggestion from a local cafè owner. We were lucky to get a table at short notice near the kitchen. It wasn't a problem watching the kitchen staff turn out great meals effortlessly. The food was perfect. The spaghetti cooked al dente with mussels and prawns in a light tomato base. Partner had a delicious pizza, topped off with a lemon torte. The wait staff were very pleasant and efficient. Highly recommend

What a delightful restaurant in which to have an Italian meal. The food was delicious. I had the King Prawn tagliatelle, the sauce was so good! For dessert we both had Afogato. This was the best Afogato I have had. A tasy decaff, generous portion of ice cream and it comes with a liqueur. The staff were welcoming and friendly and helpful, the wait time minimal. I liked that the atmosphere was peaceful in that there was no loud music playing making conversation pleasurable. All in all a great experience.

Amatos is a fabulous restaurant in Carlisle . We hadn't booked but the staff quickly found us a table . There's a good varied menu and Specials board . I ate the garlic mushrooms as a starter and can honestly say they were the best I've ever had . Both our main courses were delicious. Even though the restaurant was very busy the wait for our food was minimal. We'll definitely return on our next visit to Carlisle .

Best restaurant in Carlisle no doubt! Will visit again for sure! It's like I'm in siting in Rome again and enjoying Italian food! Absolutely fabulous! Thank you!

This restaurant was such a pleasant surprise, we were a bit hungry and not knowing the area had a quick look on Google and the first two options unfortunately were closed due to Covid... then went past this restaurant (Amatos) and decided to give it a try, and we liked it very much as it offered us such a great culinary experience. Food vas very tasteful, visually appealing and the atmosphere welcoming and peaceful. The prices are higher than the usual places but it reflects the quality and service the place offers! Totally recommend if you go visit Carlisle ❤👍🏻

We stopped here with the kids, on our way back from Walby Farm Park. Thanks to the reviews, we were not disappointed. We arrived as a family of six shortly after the restaurant opened. We found it surprisingly full, which was a good sign, but the staff still managed to find us a table. Food and service were spot on. Pizza and pasta were delicious and the seabas special was phenomenal. A huge thank you for the crew for their outstanding service.

Not all Green King pubs are the same. The food at this one is a cut above. Fresh herbs and chillies. Really well prepared. Also, a better selection of ale than the norm. Pet friendly too

Good pub. Nice big bar, good for watching sports. Friendly staff. Family friendly. Food is pretty good, it's Greene King menu. Cheaper drinks when football on using the Greene King sports app. Also can get plenty of free drinks with it.

Food is consistent, and reasonably priced. Standard pub fare. Loud on game days, and difficult to get a table, which is to be expected. Service generally pretty good.

Always a friendly welcome and a chat with Christine and Kirsty who were on today. Enjoyed a pint watching the football. Service excellent and the ultimate sharer was worth it.

Always a friendly atmosphere, great place to come and watch the football or have a quiet drink. Good food and lovely staff. Always recommend

Went with my son , we had the 2 meal deal with had the fish and chips , great value ! Lovely white flakey fish and crispy thin batter x worth the money , so 2 fish and chips and 2 drinks was rnd 23 quid xcant complain. Apart from the menue cards could really do with a wash ?? Bit sticky

A lovely, friendly place. Staff are friendly. Very welcoming pub, would totally recommend.

Nice place to enjoy a drink as its my very first drink in Carlisle after a long journey. Quick service and plenty of seating. Atmosphere wasn’t bad either. Location is great just 2 mins away from station. Full of local people, may be because their favourite place.

Our first visit to Carlisle the rufus weatherspoon. It was a bit busy when we were there for early dinner. I loved the sticky Korean spicy chicken with Korean sauce and boiled rice. I had a cranberry juice. The chicken pieces were fresh and crispy. Just perfect. Pity the boiled rice was small portion not enough for me. I wonder if I could ask for extra portion of rice and I will pay for it. My friend she had lamb curry with pineapple mixed OJ. We would definitely come back.

Busy place. Pizza was okay - not the best, but at £5.79 or whatever for a pizza and a drink, I've got a cheek to complain!

Cracking atmosphere watching Man United get thrashed by Brentford—huge cheer when Bruno missed his pen! Humiliation continues post-Grimsby. Staff were friendly and constantly on the move. Loved the Jalfrezi—spicy, satisfying, spot on! Elvis Juice with the meal was a welcome bargain. 🍛⚽🍻

Enjoyed a few drinks in here with friends. Quite lively on a Saturday afternoon with sport on the screens creating a vibrant atmosphere. Ales were of a good quality 👌

Cool place, taste food, Quick Service, New Christmas Menu, Very busy on weekends, Friendly and nice Staff, Outside nice garden, patio, smooking area, close to buses and train station in Carlisle. Only 10 min walks from Main City Square. Bus station- 12 min walks, You need go there and You will be happy and love that place :-) DJ console, party music, sport sky sports and more

Very busy high street Spoons that is very sports orientated inside.Definitely a drinkers pub and a place to go after you've done your shopping.Only had a drink this time but I did see plenty of food going out and it looked great.Service at the bar was quick and the staff were friendly, well worth a visit if your in the area!!!! Mary St Car park just across the road and down the alley ,pay and display .

A friend brought us here while we were visiting and honestly the food was incredible. We tried the Chicken Parmesan and the Shepherds Pie it was so delicious that we went back the second time after craving the food. I will say when we did go back I ordered the shepherds pie again it was a little bit on the sweeter side but it was still good. For the portion size and quality the price in our opinion was worth it. We will deff be back when we visit again x

I was just passing by when a thought crossed my mind and in my heart I knew this was the place to have an Expresso Martini cocktail. Wonderful place, unreservedly and friendly bantering drinking neighbour at the bar and polite member of staff who prepared the my favorite cocktail. I, one hundred percent recommend this amicable location for food, drink and good old socialising.

What a great little restaurant! Decided on a day trip to Carlisle and we had seen the food on Facebook so decided to go for a late lunch. Didn't grab the name of our waitress but she was so lovely and attentive. Drinks were delicious and refreshing and our pulled beef sub with gravy was amazing!! Couldn't reccomdnd this place enough, picture doesn't do it justice lol

Been coming here for years & have always loved it. Just not the same as it used to be, hasn’t got the same buzz it used to & service was a lil slow (& I miss the bone marrow gravy on the Sunday dinner) Staff are always really lovely though which keeps us coming back ☺️

Great meal, very generous portions! Bring a second stomach if you order a main, they will fill you up. Menu has a wide variety of dishes to choose from, something for everybody. Very friendly atmosphere, great staff!

Yummy food! Good atmosphere. Great staff.

My wife and I had lunch today, absolutely fine and reflected the reviews I had read. My wife's wagyu burger with chunky chips was very tasty (according to my wife), as was My chicken schnitzel caesar salad. My only small complaint would be that the croutons tasted stale. Would we go to the Coco Mill again......yes!

When English members have benefit to have free entry then why not. Let me enjoy. Excellent military based museum and well worth to have a look. Very well laid out with great displays and informative. Good location next to castle and inside the castle boundary. So why not try when you already visiting the Castle.

Impressed by the displays and curation of this museum that I hadn’t been planning to visit on my trip to Carlisle Castle. Despite the English Heritage website suggesting dogs aren’t allowed inside, they very much are.

Well I hadn't expected to enjoy this little museum as much as I did. Well displayed, well informed boards, and part of the castles admission fee. Cafe and toilets on the premises, plus a little well priced gift area. Some interesting displays, definitely worth a visit if in the castle area.

Visited Cumbria’s Museum of Military Life with my husband - and let’s just say, I’ve never seen him so excited to look at uniforms and old weapons 😂🎖️🪖 Located right next to Carlisle Castle, this museum is packed with stories of courage, discipline, and the kind of historical drama that makes you say, “Wait, that really happened?!” The exhibitions take you through over 300 years of military history - from the 18th century to modern missions. It was fascinating to learn about the local regiment’s role in world events - all brought to life with photos, films, and hands-on displays. Even if you’re not a military buff, it’s impossible not to get drawn in (and let's be honest, those vintage army hats are pretty fabulous 🎩😂).

A really interesting military museum with some informative and interesting displays and exhibits. This truly shows the history of Carlisle and is well worth visiting when at the castle.

A small military museum in Carlisle Castle which mainly tells the story of the Border Regiment. Despite being small there's an excellent collection which is beautifully displayed, including uniforms, weapons and regimental silver. Admission is included with Carlisle Castle entry, making a visit to the castle good value.

I like to visit old castles, double bonus with the regimental museum within. spent a good hour or 2 wandering about the castle and museum. Exhibits are well set out and show's the history and story of the regiment. reminds us why we were the best.....

Great staff. Always lovely and welcoming. Great food!! My son loves the katsu chicken. Has it everytime!! Great pub if your on your own, can just go in and made to feel comfortable x

Went on Saturday night & the atmosphere was great, very busy and everyone was upbeat, staff were very nice & helpful! Singing performance from Megan was absolutely amazing too🤩 Had a couple of little bites to eat which were lovely & came out very quickly even though it was so busy!

Extremely dog friendly. Every member of staff came to greet our springers. A bowl of water was provided as soon as we sat down and they had their photo taken for the wall. We were so impressed that we went back next day for a meal. Staff remembered the dogs names and made a fuss. Nice little doggie menu. Quick service and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely meal at affordable prices for all of us

Absolutely amazing place for food, every meal has been made to perfection, the staff Connor, Aalyah, Chantel and Kyle are lovely (as are the rest of the staff who work here) they always make you feel welcome and taken care of. The prices are very reasonable, it can get busy but that's just a sign of a great place. They do quiz nights and different things, I would definitely recommend you check it out.

Good food and great value. We took advantage of the buy one get one free burger deal. The service was friendly and efficient.

Arrived with friends and ordered through the app and the drinks came really quick very friendly staff Connor Megan and chantel was soo friendly. The food was delicious so big shout out to the chefs on. It was a great atmosphere.

Great all round, thanks to staff for making our afternoon memorable. Cheers!!

Made it to Carlisle with my hubby! 🧳💑 We did a quick stroll around the town – and guess what? The cathedral was closed again 😅⛪️ So now it's time to chill at the local gem, The Kings Head Pub 🍻✨ Cheers to mini adventures and happy city breaks! 🌆❤️ #CarlisleVibes #PubTime #CityEscape

The King's Head is a wonderful traditional pub with a very intimate atmosphere. We stopped by for lunch while passing through Carlisle on our travels. I had the smaller fish & chips while my partner opted for steak pie & chips. The fish was excellent, however the chips were quite thick & as such undercooked in the middle, plus there seemed to be mixed sizes (steak chips, French fries etc) so I left most of them, but it was reasonably priced, and I can imagine it's a belting little place on a weekend night. Lovely place, staff straightforward & attentive, kid certainly go back again. Just without the chips 🍟👍.

Good if it's open, but rarely is. Was a good pub for many years. Beers always well kept and a good pint. However for over 3 years now can never count on it being open. They won't use social media to communicate so a lottery if it's open. They close if it's quiet, if it's busy on a Saturday they will definitely close as apparently wants to look after staff and not have them overwhelmed. Also will just be randomly closed on certain nights with no communication.

Small to Small Medium sized area downstairs. Bar area is reasonable well stocked, though the draught selection is limited. Prices reasonable. Food is served, though I cannot comment as I didn't order anything. Upstairs, I think there is another seating area, where there is a lot more room. Toilets are clean.

Has a 'locals' vibe about it in all the best ways. Popped in for a quick pint (or two) on a Saturday afternoon and it soon got busy; very lovely and obviously a popular place to come for a drink in the city centre.

This place is in the good pub beer guide but unfortunately it should be in the rude bar staff guide. Sullen barmaid actually turned 6 paying adults away with a sleeping baby in the middle of the afternoon whilst there were only 2 other customers in. Please update website to show you don't want any children in and actually you don't want to make any money. And get friendlier staff

We came across this quaint little pub tucked down a side street off the main shopping area in the centre of Carlisle and decided to pop in for some lunch. We were greeted by a delightfully friendly woman behind the bar ,given menus, and told to sit where we like. The menu only had a handful of items, and I chose the steak pie with chips,peas, and a jug of gravy. There were only a few people in the pub so we were served immediately and our food arrived promptly. The meal was served on a large plate, and I was pleasantly surprised at the sizeable slab of steak pie I was given, which also tasted delicious. The thick-cut chips needed a little longer as they were frozen in the middle, but overall, the meal was nice and worth the money, although I would have liked more gravy, and I wouldn't have paid anymore.

In Carlisle you can’t find much craft beer but thanks to Brewdog for saving my life because they always offer the great variety of craft beers their own brew as well as the guest breweries. Still the prices are very pocket friendly compared to other places around. The staff are really friendly and helpful to choose a drink for you incase if you don’t know much. Big seating area and there's even pool tables. Perfect for party and have great fun. Really recommend if you around in area.

We booked a table, in advance, for food and drinks and first impressions as we arrived at the bar was the stench of stale urine whilst ordering but didn’t think too much of it. But after a beer or two I needed the loo and oh my God; the state of the toilet was unbearable, in my personal opinion. There was not a single urinal available - all were covered up. I assume the wet floor was urine give the smell. When ordering our drinks at the bar, we were advised that despite our booking being 4pm, food would not be available until at least 4:30pm. Food was ok, drinks were ok. But that’s about as good as it got I’m afraid. Having been to several BrewDog locations, nothing has come close to the experience at DogTap Ellon. If I’m honest, everywhere else just seems to be sub-par. Carlisle - definitely wasn’t it. I think if this was someone’s first BrewDog visit, it would also be their last. The whole time we sat at our table (2 hours) no one collected a single empty glass or our finished food. Definitely not a great experience. Bearing in mind the bar was practically empty the whole time, I can’t find a reason as to why this wasn’t attended to.

We went for food and drinks today. 2 adults and 4 children. The service was brilliant and the pizzas were the best I’ve ever tasted. Thankyou so much. Good deal too. Would highly recommend

Great place for food, beer and a cool vibe. The staff are lovely, but with such a small pizza over, service can sometimes be slow - especially when there’s a large group of you.

A great range of craft beers on tap and in cans plus it’s so handy for the 🚂

Well designed bar, lending to an American style with long bar on one side and bench / booth seating opposite. Free Pool tables / board games at the rear which is a great touch and balances out the, admittedly slightly over priced drinks. Very much aimed towards beer drinkers. Pleasant staff, quality pizza's and decent music and decor which creates a solid atmosphere all-round.

Love this place! Always a great vibe here, but the bar staff are what really make it. Super friendly, chatty, and they actually know their stuff when it comes to the beers. You can tell they enjoy being there, and it makes the whole experience way better. Always feel welcome. Top spot for a pint (or a few)!

Beautiful interior, friendly and welcoming staff, happy to make a cocktail not even on the menu. Sincere vibey place, would love to see it on a busy Friday or Saturday

Lovely bar & busy on a Saturday afternoon...live music Friday nights little bar but a cracker. Drinks getting v expensive though i paid £5.70 for one the other day bit steep really gonna cut there own throats at some point that's most bars to be honest but we'll see.

Very friendly staff with good recommendations, came on a Sunday so was very quiet but still a good vibe with good music. Lovely cocktails, would recommend

Loved this bar! Had a good old chat with the bar staff about their selection of gin. They even let us smell the different ones they had while chatting about them. Very friendly, good cocktails. Made for a very nice laid back evening 😊👍

Friendly staff and customers very helpfull. Should really have given 5 stars but they ran out of my favourite wine. The staff did apologize for the inconvenience . 5 stars next visit everyone if the wine delivery arrived see you again soon

Love The Crescent, visit every time we are in Carlisle for a couple of Barista beers. Never found this beer anywhere else yet and it's so nice. The venue is very popular and they sometimes have live music too.

Enjoyed our drink until the bouncer insisted we leave due to been tired . He was rude and the night was spoiled there is a way to look after customers

Old style public house which is next to Cathedral. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Service is not bad either. Serving local ales and some bottles as well as spirits.

You will find the pub in the historic quarter of Carlisle, not far from the Castle, and Tullie House Museum, you can't miss it, it's next to the Cathedral. I was at the pub in the afternoon, so it was extremely quiet. If you want a quiet drink with the girlfriend, then this is where to go. On a night time though, it does get busier, and on a Wednesday night there is a Quiz. The bar is well stocked. Prices are comparable with other establishments. The pud is small, to medium sized and is, very atmospheric, because of its old dark panelling. Though the pub is in the opposite direction to all the other pubs, you will still find people there on a night time, so give it a go. I don't know if the pub sells food.

Solid town pub. Good selection of beers, very capable staff. Had a couple of very reasonably priced and spot on pints. Can recommend!

If you're looking for a local pub experience, this is the spot! Dave was a great host & invited us to participate in the trivia night. I highly recommend you check it out! (The only food is chips/crisps)

I would not recommend this pub to any new visitor.they don't do food anymore and the landlord mumbled so much I could hardly understand him .he fumbled at the bar for 5 minutes and then he didn't give me my change for a pint.will never come here again and I hope it closes for good

Great pub, very spacious. More ciders would be nice but still good.

Can't rate food as never tried it. Service was perfect. Old fashioned, traditional pub

Great place. Good for snack foods but kitchen limitations mean they can't cook fried foods. The staff are lovely, and looked after us well.

My first visit here. Helpful and friendly staff. A small, tidy bar with aircon for those who wanted to cool off. We chose a table outside to make the most of the evening sunshine and warmth. It's a great place to watch the world go by and the modified vehicles traverse the city. Located opposite the Citadel it's a great first stop off the bus or train. Has a good range of gins available and offers cocktails by the jug to share. Will definitely go again.

A fun and quirky spot in the heart of Carlisle! 🍸 We stopped by Open Mind for a gin cocktail and loved the unique atmosphere – especially the wings hanging from the ceiling, which make you feel like you might just take off after a drink or two 🪽😄 Friendly staff, relaxing vibe, and creative decor. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town and looking for something a bit different! #CarlisleGem #OpenMindBar #GinAndWings

Every single time I've been here, it's been friendly, welcoming and had a wonderful atmosphere. Downstairs they have a dj booth and area for a band and upstairs a room of armchairs and sofas full of nooks and crannies for chats and catch ups. Love it. Edit: we ate here and it's incredible. Really, really good food, homemade soup to die for.

Staff were very kind as we were tourists who arrived late. Was close to closing but still invited us in and made us great cocktails. We had time to play board games and were overly noisy yet still staff were all good vibes. Thank you and wish you all the best for your small business

The jaffa cake cocktail and black forrest cocktail are the most delicious drinks I have ever treated myself to. This gaffe is dog friendly and serves delicious food. Would defiantly recommend the chipotle chicken burritos. Friend staff and quick service. This place is absolutely perfect for cheeky cocktails with a friendly safe atmosphere. I recommend the jaffa cake cocktail, it actually taste like a jaffa cake.

Very relaxed atmosphere with fantastic ales.

The Sands Centre is part Entertainment district and part Leisure centre. I used the pools, although they have a gym, squash courts, a cafe and more. The pool was great. They had separate ares for kids swimming lessons (which seems to be for schools during the day). There was lane swims set up with clear markers about the lane speed expected and the direction of swimming. The change room facilities were good. There are lockers (you'll need to have a £1 coin or a coin token to use them) that come in a range of sizes. There are showers, and toilets blocks inside the change rooms. There is a great collection of different sized stalls for changing clothes and a few for people with babies. It is really well thought out. I got a casual lane swim ticket. Which also covered the cost of my parking (they have a machine that you can type your registration number into that means your car is covered for a set amount of time). Make sure you double check how long you are allowed to stay, as its only short term parking you get with your swimticket. I really enjoyed my experience there. Thanks!

Absolutely FAB place group we saw was called 'Money For Nothing ' they really were fantastic. The stage and seating area are a great size, seats comfy. Light and sound effects were out of this world. Can't wait to go back there.

Have cancelled my membership , it's just got more and more expensive, now double the price of many other gyms in the area and open half as much. Also forced to use an awful app that is often wrong and when there is an issue you can't call the centre to sort out you ring a national number who tell you to travel to the centre. Have tickets to see a show in February but there is 0 chance of this happening as no work has been done on that part of the facility in the past 6 months although still advertising shows and taking people's money.

Shockingly bad customer service and a massive wait to even talk to them. I asked her if I could make a comment about my experience and then she just spoke over me. You record these calls look back aug 7th 12.01 I will not use the sands again and am going to cancel my theatre tickets that you sold me then told me you needed to rearrange. What happened to grabbing your swim stuff and going? RUDE RUDE RUDE

My first ever visit to The Sands Centre. So I absolutely forgive the disruption caused by the post flooding refurbishment, it's a massive project. The outdoor bar staff were fabulously, cheerful and helpful, as too were the staff guiding us to our seats, and the wonderful security staff. There were a number of portaloos as well as more permanent toilet facilities in good condition. Beyond this I was truly disappointed with the venue. This was a bucket list concert on my doorstep, Paul Weller. The acoustics were awful, lots of feedback, and very base heavy. We chose West Gallery seating where we couldn't even here Paul Weller introducing the song he was about to sing, the seating didn't face the stage either. I'd chosen seating due to a spinal injury, so sitting at a weird angle on my allocated seat was painful. I ended up standing, which must have been a relief to everyone else on the row as apparently my tapping my feet equated to feeling like I was bouncing on my chair to everyone else. A number of times the lighting was directly in the eyeline of those of us sitting in the galleries resulting in being so blinded that you couldn't see the stage!!! This was not worth the cost of the tickets and certainly not worth paying the extra to allegedly sit in comfort!!!!!!!!!!! This venue is definitely better being used as a sports hall than a live music venue. Having also attended the Old Fire Station in Carlisle I absolutely would prefer this venue for live music as the acoustics there are truly superb.

It is a great venue and they've done a great job updating it but the actual hall itself needs an upgrade - the seats are a quite old and accessibility is not wonderful when going through these to get your seat. However I know this is hard to get with grants available! We are very lucky to have this place to access shows that tour across the country!!!

The show was great However why your tickets were not checked at the main door instead of as you enter the auditorium (certainly causing a long queue upstairs only 1 staff on) I don't know. Again at the upstairs bar service could be improved more staff! and notices to say not taking cash, card payment only. I can say that the Brickyard on Wednesday had a far better system perhaps something to consider.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch here today. Food was lovely.. good sized portion and hot. Staff were really friendly too. Amazing all round. Will definitely visit again when next in Carlisle

We had Sunday dinners here and was lovely. we stayed for an hour after as the staff were friendly and really enjoyed ourselves. We decided to take our friends in for dinner on Friday and were told that the kitchen had closed early. Very disappointed as we could see other had meals.

Very impressed with this quirky little pub. Immaculately clean and a nice range of drinks. We didn't eat there, but plenty of people were eating and the food looked lovely.

Visited here on Friday night and all i can say is they went above and beyond for me and a friend. I am a wheelchair user and although they don't have wheelchair access Laura and all the staff made sure my wheelchair was safe and I was able to get in. A great night was had with friendly people and we will definitely be back to visit 5 stars is not enough to describe this pub or the staff

Found this one by Google search. The outside is of a typical pub facade that was the fashion many years ago. Dont be put off by it appearance from the outside because it serves some brilliant meals in what is a tardis once inside. Has a one way system around the inside that works really well for these covid times we live in. Will say the chips were the best that I have tasted for as long as I came remember. Crisp on the outside and lovely soft fluffy inside. Of the meals we had nothing when to waste and there was plenty of it.

A really homely vibe to this quirky pub (which is also dog friendly 👍). We were made to feel very welcome by Ethan and team. A great choice of food - totally recommend the macaroni, cheese with chorizo. Nice beer garden too. The milk churn stool is fabulous!❤️.

Great pub with fantastic food and staff. We got lucky as last walk ins for the Sunday Roast and it didn't disappoint! Definitely recommend booking ahead. Pub is dog friendly and Daisy certainly approved.

I like the Brickyard; it's a great little venue. Nice people and a great bar. Wheelchair access is possible via the side door. Currently, there are no accessible toilets, but I have been advised that there are active plans to convert the current performers dressing room into an accessible bathroom. That will take it from a great venue to a perfect venue.

Fantastic venue... easy access and really looked after our crutched friend... first timer but will be back.

Yeah great Maiden Scotland. Paid on the door. Nee mither. Of course do take.out a mortgage for drinks but sadly that's everywhere now.

First time here and what a great venue Good acoustics, great bar and friendly staff 👍

Great little venue for music

Great little venue. Friendly staff. Good sound.

A back to roots venue, great place to see your favourite band. Pricing is very competitive and the staff are really thoughtful.

Bus services are horrific. Buses are late 9/10 and everyday this week at least one bus out of two services I could get have been cancelled. Last week two after the other in the same service were cancelled. It’s not good enough. It’s absolutely atrocious. The price goes up but the service quality goes down. The buses are always filthy, outside and in, it’s hard to see where your stop is at night which doesn’t matter anyway since the drivers don’t always listen to the stop bell and just drive past it anyway. You cannot blame roadworks or traffic when it is a recurring issue. At that point it is the fault of bus provider to combat that issue by putting out buses more often during the times that they are most frequently late. I am sick to death of ending up late everywhere just because of the buses, because even when I get an earlier bus that usually ends up late cancelled or just fully not turning up. The app is a complete joke and never tells the truth, often saying a bus is late or on time then the bus just doesn’t turn up at all, so you are left confused wondering when the next bus will be because you cannot trust the app. And if you can’t trust the apps you obviously cannot trust the printed out timetables on the bus stops which are on the rare few stops to begin with.

On the 7.11.24 at 630 pm Maryport to Carlisle 300 bus. 530 pm did not turn up or departed early. I waited for an hour for 630 pm bus . I am registered disabled and have disabled pass. The machine was not registering my pass and the driver had a face like thunder. He put pass through machine without saying a word. It is not my fault as some of the machines are temperamental. He looked at me like I was dirt. The bus was empty. This driver on the 630 pm bus should not be allowed near the public. . I will be looking out for this driver and if he behaves like this again will complain to Stagecoach. Shame on Stagecoach and the driver🥲

I am quite disappointed about stagecoach They used to be on time, now the business that are driving only in Carlisle are 30 min late and I have been in 2 busses 2 days in a row and both of they had problems. Hopefully they can fix this If you go outside of Carlisle with Stagecoach their programme is on time, I have been in Brampton and they left on time with no issues

Appalling and disgusting company. My 11 year old daughter and her school friend got on the wrongly marked bus. When they realised they were on the wrong bus they were in longtown. The driver then decided to dump them outside CAD Longtown, literally in the middle of nowhere. It was cold and getting dark, and in a poor phone signal area. I then went on an hour long search of Longtown trying to find them and being directed to 2 wrong bus stops in Longtown itself, by stagecoach. I found therm eventually in a sold wooden bus shelter in the middle of nowhere, no streetlights. Stagecoach showed a complete disregard for their duty of care to vulnerable people and minors, and their lack of immediate response, or even grasping the gravity of the situation they caused is just inexcusable. I would have thought a manager would have showed some concern and phoned to see if they were at least found?

Yet again, another 35 minute wait for the 79 bus into town because the scheduled service didn't turn up till a couple of minutes before the next scheduled service. Bus full and standing room only. Two 79 service running into town at the same time. This happens routinely. Unreliable service, app and timetable barcode shows service running on time when it's not, so it's not a live tracker. Come on Stagecoach, too many bad reviews which are constant and demonstrate that you're not acting on the complaints. Sort yourselves out and get a new Director, who actually cares enough to do the right thing for customers by being proactive in getting things done, and manage this rubbish service.

Only downside bins should get emptied more frequently

Buses on the Brampton-Carlisle route cancelled without notice almost every single day now and those which do turn up are routinely at least 10-15 minutes late, even on fine days with little traffic. Passengers are never given any apology or explanation for this. I recommend using any other form of transport except Stagecoach.

A lively pub with friendly service. I joined a group of friends here, and it was very lively. Music was rather loud, though, making conversation a bit tricky. Efficient behind the bar with good quality beer.

Great pub , with Disco from 4 pm to 2 am . Great atmosphere, staff , and customers. Drinks are well priced and good selection. Mens toilet is clean and tidy .

Went in about 3pm Saturday 8th March in a group of 8 and sat on tables next to bar. Was obvious we would need all the tables for the size of the group. Whilst at the bar, one of the bar staff moved the table away to beside the toilets. One of our party hadn't seen that and went to move it back. Woman behind the bar screamed aggressively at top of her voice to NOT MOVE TABLE ITS BEEN PUT THERE FOR A REASON. There was absolutely no reason to scream like that, totally unnecessary. Could have just spoken to us in a reasonable tone. Won't be back again, disgusting attitude.

Me and my friends enjoy coming here , it has a variety of music , loads of singalong classics that everyone would just sing and dance to 👍

Awesome night out! Really nice staff and djs, also pub very clean and bouncing on a weekend

Brilliant place to party on a weekend! And the staff are amazing too!

Not been in for a while, still a good wee pub though. Was back in on the night of 20/9, had a good wee old school dance music party to myself on the jukey! 🤭

We were celebrating with a big group of people and ordered the Tapas, the food quality was average but the amount was very poor for £20. Also they didn't serve the tapas at once, rather in bits. The staff was friendly but they ran out of wine glasses in the first half an hour and served the (not so cheap) wine in tumblers. The live music was good and the atmosphere was great.

Visited on a Saturday evening with friends. We all enjoyed the enchiladas. Piping hot, well presented and tasted amazing. Service was friendly and with a smile. I’ve not eaten here before but I’ll definitely be coming again and telling everyone how lovely it was.

Good experience at the Andalusian. The service was great and the restaurant setting is classy. The fajitas had decent flavour, although there could have been more meat on the mixed grill. I would have preferred if I didnt have to fold the fajita myself but it was good value overall.

First time we had ever had food from here. Used to go to the bar often but never had the food. WHAT A MISTAKE. Absolutely fantastic. We had the tapas and it was fabulous. The beef was so soft, the chicken fell apart and the fish tacos were to die for. 100% will be booking a table once lockdown is lifted.

Poor quality tapas , everything breaded and certainly not enough food to go round. Very disappointed and still very hungry would not recommend as definitely not worth £20 per person . Staff were lovely and no problem with venue just lack of food.

Terrible food, cold,flavourless. Roast lunch (so called) was near inedible, potatoes warmed up not roast, save your money go elsewhere.

The best thing about this place is the owner. Someone with a passion for the many things she does very well and a proper eye for detail. Wow!

Very quiet when we went in in fact we were the only ones but it was early on Sunday night but there was seven of us back from the races so it was loud after that the staff were very friendly and efficient nice traditional pub.

Just got asked to leave when a young ginger haired girl said she took objection to me calling her a good lass while pocketing the £30 for myself and my friends two rounds of jugermeisster,well done lad you've proved to me your actually a no hoper and waiting to get the glasses to wash,your a chancer,I want my £30 back or it's actually theft

The member of staff who served us was holding a young baby behind the bar. Males shouting, a very intimidating atmosphere clearly has a regular clientele. We left without drinking our drinks.

Had a great night for a Monday in the Cumberland was very enjoyable with really good prices on beer

Used to be a great little place. Hogmanay first night recieving license back, i get they need to look after it but they bodily removed every customer. Even the DJ was dragged out, to leave staff and there obv special wee group, shame used to be a great place terrible atmosphere, terrible owners worst night ever wont be back

Went here at the weekend sat down waited to be served no one came for at least 20 minutes a bunch of the staff were sat at the table next to us sipping pints , a lady had a go at them said we had been waiting to long please serve us , the women replied I’m on my break. (didn’t know pubs had all staff members on a break drinking at the same time great way of doing business) I said this is shocking service the women replied oi im the manager then told us we were not been served , if I was to compare this pub to a movie the closest would be the hills have eyes , if your not local they just stare at you and don’t wanna serve you creepy place with shocking management

Terrible , rude and over the top staff. Previously fined for breach of covid rules and now clearly adopting an aggressive manner towards customers instead of applying a bit of common sense. Never in 37 years of going into pubs have been so badly treat. Would never return to this place again.

Absolutely disgusted with the staff, we paid 6.00 for entry and then sat and watched at least 12 people entry without paying and when I spoke to the young girl at the front door I got nothing but attitude and when a spoke to security all he said was they were friends!! Ask to speak to the manage but seemingly they are to busy for the common people to add the door man with long beard was so unhelpful and said he was in charge when to boss wasn’t about, bit mistake!!!

That boy on the door. Such bone structure. Is he a super model? He definitely said his name was Joe. Stunning 😍 gorgeous and fine customer service too 10/10

Staff friendly and good place for a boogie on a night out. I think both bars should serve all drinks in my opinion as easier and less queuing. Cocktails are well priced and there is a good choice.

Very nice door staff. Mr Nordic is very nice. Joe is nice too.

Mr Nordic was the nicest door staff, Joe was very good also

Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere and door staff who ensure the safety of their customers and staff. Drinks prices are amazing and there is a good range of cocktails. Would recommend to anyone !

What a treatment and desrespect towards a customer judging the way I was dressed up without even salutation, the at door needs to be a little bit polite with people that try to come in for a drink. I'm a DJ and I just wanted to go in support the venue by having a drink and maybe with a bit of luck get to speak with the management and maybe get to play some good uplifting music but instead I felt offended and with the feeling that the only recommendations I would give is don't go there. Carlisle nights are getting worst and worst by the week. Good luck to you all while you have the job thanks to your customers including the one's that the security or doorman and women don't let in. Namaste

This bar has an interesting theme of "beach volleyball club with dream logic" as surmised from its décor and frequent repeats of old beach volleyball matches to remind you of better places than Carlisle. If it was anywhere else I don't think Yellowjacket would be as impactful, it's the only place in the city that allows a mini escape from sensibility and it does great cocktails. There's also a lot of beer and shots.

One of the nicest bar I have ever been ! Great cocktail and cozy atmosphere ! Give it a try and u will defo wannabe go back!

A great wee cocktail bar, they do a solid Whiskey Sour, though unfortunately they had a very limited selection of whisky the night I was there

Great little bar, if you fancy a cocktail pop in, small amount of seating available, plus some outside.

Best cocktail in Carlisle. Small and quiet bar, friendly staff, delicious cocktails, nice place to relax. Their Fashioned Manhattan was superb.

Amazing staff, drinks were class and the place was beautiful. Really chilled out and welcoming atmosphere with a cocktail menu that left nothing to be desired. There's even drinks that are nonalcoholic which I don't see much anywhere else. i definitely recommend it. I will be coming back!

Great atmosphere, good music, awesome gin and great cocktails. The bar man is passionate about making sure your drink is amazing, thank you!!! Great way to end our walk along The Cumbria Way. My feet feel awesome now 🤣

The shop is good and at least you can be served by a real person. Sad it us closing down soon. Shame Tesco can't open a proper supermarket in the town centre. Not all of us drive, and the busses are not always convenient to get to out of town stores.

Great shop barely have to wait in a cue when i'm there the self checkouts run fast and smoothly and great deals if you have a club card brilliant.

Well stocked Indoor and outdoor plants aren't tended to . They are dry and need watering . Such a waste

accepting stolen cards... manager obviously doesn't know anything surprised he's even is a manager. CCTV in there isn't for security . 0 respect 0 brain cells TESCO EVERY LITTLE HELPS specially if u use stolen card we wont charge u

Visited for meal deal lunch did not have much choice as we was late in the day but still had enough for us to pick. Plenty of items for sale not massive but big enough.

I needed diesel and the forecourt Attendant was very friendly and helpful the shop was clean and tidy.

Good staff and service just a couple of lights need fixed from flickering and the place would be perfect. Also well stocked and good location

Brilliant venue! We went to watch a band (Blue Scarrow were amazing!) They have open mic nights, jam sessions, and performances from local bands! Quirky decor too!

It really is a fantastic little place for performers and audiences. I don't know of anywhere else you can catch a spoken word night, an electronic music set at an open mic and then a sludge metal band, all within a few days of each other. The platform it gives to musicians that are just starting out or that would otherwise struggle to get in front of audience is brilliant too. The staff are all wonderful too! Give them a follow on socials and keep an eye on the upcoming events, there really is something for everyone.

Went along by chance when we were passing through Carlisle. What a great venue! Gutted there isn't a place like this in my town!

A bit of a Bohemian hideout. Always super chilled.

A great wee venue!

A quirky little music/arts venue tucked away in an old mill building in a suburb of Carlisle. Features a wide variety of music genres and always entertaining. Have a drink or coffee at the bar. Friendly staff and a relaxed sociable atmosphere. Appeals to a wide age range. Dancing. Open mic nights. Established and new bands/singers. Great place...well worth a visit

I live next door to this venue. Never been inside but I can hear all the music free of charge whenever the fire door is open. Unfortunately it's not my kind of music, being as I am 60+, but if they throw in some free beers too I'll not complain! 😂😂

The place Carlisle has been waiting for!! For years Carlisle has been behind most other cities in alot of respects until a shining light appears in this form. Great historical location, amazing knowledgeable staff, brilliant chilled atmosphere and that's even before mentioning the Beers and Pizza. If live music is your thing they have that covered too🕺💃🎵 A place for everybody, hats off to Joe, Fergus and all the team.

I stumbled across this Untappd Verified Venue on their first birthday weekend bash. Absolutely rammed, 4 cask and a selection of own and guest keg. A great venue, hope it has many more birthdays to come.

Such a great addition to the city's bar and beer scene. We have behind the curve on beer offerings, particularly, so the Tap goes a long way to improving this. Very smart interior, shiny brewkit standing ready for brewing, plenty of beers on offer - looking forward to a good variety of styles being offered (particularly dark beers!) - and tasty pizza slices to wash it down. A little more cider offering would be great too!

I visited here a few days ago with my father and oh my god where was this place when I was growing up in Carlisle. This place is amazing! I had the Damn Lemon and it was fantastic. I hope this place never leaves what a great addition to Carlisle.

Wow an excellent venue with a great, friendly vibe. And the real ales and craft beers from the brewery are excellent.

Eighteen months ago I visited Carlisle for the first time. I must be honest I was a little disappointed at local pub scene. With the exception of the craft ale bar on Carlisle Station, now unfortunately closed, the pubs were mediocre. However a relative said recently "there's a new bar in Carlisle you'll really love it" ... They were right! The West Wall Brewing Co Tap is a fantastic addition to Carlisle, very good cask and craft keg. I visited on a busy Friday early evening, I really enjoyed the vibe and the well kept ale. As I was eating with family later I didn't try the pizza available... But it looked good. All in all a fine addition to Carlisle's drinking scene and is of a standard to appear in a future CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Visit them if you can.

Selection was ok, could do with a few more taps to add a bit more variety. I found it odd you can't get thirds, just cuts down on the sampling opportunities. Mango wheatbeer was decent. Nice atmosphere, and dog friendly.

Please guide me How to apply to my dream university of cumbria? Reply me kindly. Or share Email address I love this beautiful university. “A nurturing hub of practical learning and personal growth.” “Where potential meets purpose.”

Nice, small campus in Ambleside. Some lecturers poor and unhelpful. Some good. Facilities ok. Housing ok in first year. Gym not bad. Local transport links good. Scenery amazing.

I studied psychology and know of a few students who halted their studies/became extremely discouraged due to a certain rather discompassionate module leader in that department. I feel that this person did not have the students' best interests at heart and was not good at supporting their students mentally or providing motivation. This module leader has taken student's personal ongoings, that are able to affect uni work, personally, reacted egotistically to it, and failed to display kidness or respect in many instances. This lecturer seemed fairly new and possibly immature. As a member of the psychology cohort, their behaviour toward students was often quite ironic. I have otherwise really enjoyed my experience here, and the rest of the psych team was fab, which is why I've done 2 stars.

3500£ is too much for a 1-year PGCE online course that doesn't give you any guarantee to find a proper teaching job... lower your fees, please. Furthermore: they totally ignore emails containing suggestions and/or complains from potential students

I applied for a course and been accepted and so far the staff have been amazing! They dedicate everything to their students and take the time to listen and help you above and beyond my expectations. I'm looking forward to starting my course at this university as I already feel valued and cared for. All staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the courses and they are easy to talk to and understanding.

Okay, let me just be honest. This is an ok university. The tutors/lectures were friendly. But I found the course sizes small. Really small. There was only one person on my course and we were all bunched in with all the other science courses (which is fine, my current Uni bunches forensic and biological foundation together) but these were multiple different courses with all that related them being science. If you like really small classes then that is fine. The timetable was unpredictable. I don't know whether that is a norm. But where I am now the timetable's stable. One thing that really gets me is the lack of respect for people's birth certificates. It came back folded. The university was also really unhelpful when I was trying to change universities. I didn't know what I was doing or how things worked. I got no help. I was very lucky I managed at all. My tutor set the date where we'd talk about transferring to be after the UCAS deadline. However I think about it it feels like he was trying to rig it so I stayed at Cumbria University and didn't transfer. The emails I got from my tutor made it seem like I was unsure when the opposite was the case. It was a complete nightmare. I only chose Cumbria University because it was close to home, now I know my mistake. I am so glad I got out of that car-crash of a university.

Excellent BPS accredited applied psych course, absolutely first class lecturers - all active researchers. Great employment prospects, high standard of teaching, amazing support and pastoral care.

Broken glass everywhere. Wet floor with more broken glass. Fighting! Lots of young men milling around outside. Didn't feel safe. Shame as singer was great and bar staff good.

Who is that Mr Macphisto get a life you saddo. Brilliant pub great music the singer can sing anything and had the whole bar going. Absolutely loved it thank you.

What a great night, the place was heaving when we arrived, but the atmosphere was friendly and happy. The bar staff were brilliant. The music had everyone up dancing and having fun.

On a hot sunny afternoon we fancied going into Bocata but walked away as the music was deafening. Others were walking away too. We found a table outside the Andalusian which is around 100 yds away, and around a corner, yet we could still hear the singer blaring out, hearing every word which made a conversation even 100yds away rather difficult. This would be bad enough on an evening but ridiculous on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Turn it down Bocata and have some respect for people sitting outside other bars, your competitors and those unfortunate enough to who live within earshot of your bar.

Brilliant atmosphere, bar staff borderline crazy but in a really good way. A very enjoyable evening.

Good tunes. Decent drink. Great night out. We loved all the twinkly lights x

Great place to enjoy music and have a drink with freinds. Great bar staff

I've used co-working spaces across the country and can safely say this is one of the best. The meeting rooms are comfortable with great tech and the co-working space has a great community feel.

We used The Guild this week for two days, unexpectedly due to a family emergency. I couldn't recommend it more highly, from the warm and friendly welcome and efficient process, to the range of drinks and snacks, to the location (bang in the centre of Carlisle with lots of easy parking around), The Guild exceeded all our expectations and its very reasonably priced for the quality of the experience. And most of all the super high design and interior spec and variety of spaces to work, it was the nicest co-working space I have ever worked in, and I will be back shortly. I feel so relieved that we have The Guild to go back to and its one less thing to worry about at a really difficult time. Super grateful to the team for their care and attention, thank you so much.

A fantastic place to work. The team running the Guild are so friendly, helpful and welcoming. The spaces to work are varied in style allowing you to find your perfect spot. The booking method for meeting rooms is run smoothly and can be done independently online. The mix of people working here is great, allowing for many interesting conversations about peoples vocations... Having said that, if you need to just crack on with work that is easily done too.

Disclaimer: I rent a desk here. But the combination of dog friendly co working (a must have for me), a doughnut shop downstairs, the group of amazing people who work here, and the owners being some of the nicest people I've ever met means this is one of the best places to work in the city.

A wonderful open working space in the heart of the Historic Quarter of Carlisle making it convenient for client meetings and parking. The open plan layout helps the collaborative relaxed atmosphere and in the few weeks of working there I've made new connections and friends within the community.

I have worked from many different co-working spaces, both in the UK and internationally, and the The Guild is my favourite by far! I came to Carlisle in 2020 and needed somewhere to work from when delivering (and preparing for) teaching sessions online. As soon as I arrived at the Guild, I knew I had found the perfect place. I love the atmosphere - lovely decor and a welcoming, inspiring and creative feel. The people who run the Guild are so friendly and fun to be around - and the same goes for the other ‘Guilders’ too. I also loved being able to join in some of the training and networking sessions. For my teaching, I needed to be in the building outside of normal working hours and Dan was really helpful and flexible, enabling me to carry out weekend sessions successfully. I also particularly enjoyed my few months of fame when I had my name on the wall…! 🤩 I don’t work in Carlisle as frequently anymore, but when I do in the future, I will always return to The Guild!

I cannot recommend the The Guild enough if you are looking for a co-working space. It is a wonderful place to work, and everyone is so friendly and welcoming.....you can even bring along your dog too!!! Lovely, comfortable, bright and airy desk-spaces and meeting rooms for you to work from, with tea and coffee on tap.

The performance of the juniors was exceptional. They have improved a lot since their last outing

Fantastic hidden gem in Stanwix, Carlisle. End on (pros arch) Theatre and a Studio Theatre. High quality equipment and very accessible.

Looking at the pictures of the Stanwix Arts Theatre to the wonderful thing what they do helping children to become stars I hope I can make it there sometime the pictures are most beautiful I will come one day keep up the good art and acting work this is wonderful I'm very smart of you all that is most important thing it's bringing pleasure to people who live in Carlisle thank you

Theatre within the University of Cumbria Brampton Road Campus. Many high quality student showcase productions are performed. Good parking and has refreshments and bar.

University of Cumbria where the students of each of the academic years put on live performances. The admission charges are very reasonable. Well worth a visit.

Performance was fantastic it also had funny bits. My 5 years old loved it too. Well done to you all!

Great place too come & see the students perform,& very good.

Worst university. Tutors dont know what theyre doing or what theyre talking about, and pick favourites, in which they give all the attention, leaving those who need help to fend for themseleves. Higher education in this country is an absolute joke. Dont waste your money. It's not worth it

Just joined in 3rd year. Very professional so far. The building is pretty old but don't let that put you off.

Library staff on a weekend very nice and helpful.

My daughter goes here and really seems to like it

Just picked up a lovely classic car up from Rodney, really pleased. Nice people to work with and highly recommend. Thank you!

Just bought my New ford transit custom van from Rodney,Abouslet pleasure to deal with , Stress free from start to finish,One of the easiest sales I've ever had when purchasing vehicles everything he said he was doing it was done to a high standard, Would highly recommend this company. Thanks again Tim

What an excellent experience with Rodney! Very genuine and helpful person and will definitely go back to him again. I had to cancel the transaction and deposit will be refunded without any hassle. 5 star garage!

I have recently purchased a Ford Ranger Pickup from Rob at The Car House Centre in Carlisle and can commend them highly on my experience. Never found them pushy and nothing appeared to be a problem with regard to any concerns or questions I had. They even brought the car from Carlisle to Ardrossan Harbour and asked me more than one occassion to have a good look over the car and that I was happy with the vehicle before purchase. I can only thank Rob for his time and help on this purchase.

Absolutely awesome service. Bought a new Ford Ranger Bi-Turbo a couple of months ago and everything went so smoothly. delivered to North Wales . I would highly recommend them to anyone. Many thanks to all the guys ,Can not thank you more. Thank you

Recently bought a van from Rodney was the easiest purchase I've ever done., the van was better than described and he bent over backwards to help any way that he could, including getting the van delivered to Glasgow. I will certainly be getting in touch with Rodney again in the future when looking for another vehicle. 5 star friendly service. Highly recommended

Bought a car recently from car house... Rodney the sales man was very helpful and diligent in making sure that the car was ok before sale. Even afterwards, his communication was prompt, and answered all queries effectively. I would definitely recommend. Thanks again

The club is situated on Lowther Street, Carlisle and is an underground club that features heavily in fresher's week with the new students and returning students to the University of Cumbria. The club holds an event called teapot Tuesday and in my opinion it is one of the highlights of any freshers week. The club is not far from Botchergate the main area of Carlisles night time economy.

Ceased trading no longer open as of Saturday 11th May 2019

Not for me, sorry

One of Carlisle's oldest buildings in the heart of the city centre. Hundreds of years of history, up a flight of stairs and quirky wobbly floor. Very near to the tourist information centre. Small venue but well worth a visit.

Museum

(Translated by Google) A museum in one of the oldest buildings in the city. It is worth visiting. (Original) Un museo en uno de los edificios más antiguos de la ciudad. Merece la pena visitarlo.
