On the 3rd Friday of the month Cartmel hosts a regular food market. This little medieval village in the south of the Lake District is perhaps best known for producing the famous Cartmel puddings. On Friday 16th December 2016 the local produce market will take on a bit of a festive twist in the run up to Christmas. There are different stalls and vendors each month but a few of the favourites are: Cartmel Village Shop, Mrs Kirkham's Lancashire Cheese and Kitridding Farm Shop. The market will be running from 10.00am to 4.00pm and is located adjacent to the Priory in Cartmel village.
If you head over to Kendal on the 17th December you will find the Christmas craft fair in the town hall. There are 15 stalls making an appearance selling local goods and handmade gifts.
Kendal's usual Farmer's Market returns on Friday 23rd and will be held in the market place in Kendal town centre. Things kick off at 9.30am and draw to a close around 3.30pm. You'll be able to stock up on some last minute fresh and local produce just in time for the family to descend on you for Christmas dinner! This market is actually the oldest farmer's market in Cumbria and is said to date back to the 12th century!
In Keswick this year there is a novel live advent taking place every day throughout December. To count the days down to Christmas an event will be taking place every day up until the 24th. At 4.00pm each day the pop-up festive event will mark one less day till Christmas! Events range from children's stories and carol singing to yummy vegan treats and a Santa's Grotto.

Her love of writing started from a young age and on rainy days nothing beats curling up in a secret corner with a good book.

A. You make an initial payment of anything from £5,000 and pay a quarterly fee of around £30 (that is around £120 a year), linked to RPI. This gives you access to all HPB’s 1,400+ holiday homes.
A. After an initial charge of 25%, it is invested in a fund of holiday properties and securities. The fund itself then meets annual charges of 2.5% and other overheads. The return on your investment is purely in the form of the enjoyment you experience from your holidays. As with most investments, your capital is at risk.
A. For each visit you will pay a no profit user charge, calculated to cover property running and maintenance costs, such as electricity, cleaning, gardening, refurbishment and local taxes and use of on-site facilities but with no profit rental element. The charge stays level throughout the year, so there are no high season premiums. For a studio for two this will average about £300 a week, for a two-bedroom property for four around £460 a week. Larger properties are also available.
A. Yes. You can surrender your investment back to the company after two years or more (subject to deferral in exceptional circumstances) but you will not get back the full amount you invested. What you do get back will reflect the charges referred to earlier, as well as other overheads and changes in the value of the fund’s properties and securities.
A. A large part of the initial charges pays for future marketing of the Bond. The more Bondholders and the more investment we can attract, the more properties the Bond can buy – increasing your choice of holiday. Annual charges go toward the administration of the fund, operating the holiday booking system and providing support to Bondholders, helping you book and enjoy your holidays.
