About Us
Cartmel Village Society is a voice for our village. It began life in 1993 as a means of conserving and celebrating the heritage of the village. With the aid of a generous legacy, it was relaunched in 2008 with the resources not only to conserve and celebrate our wonderful village but also to help to ensure that the village is a vibrant place in which to live, work and visit.
Intro to Cartmel
The village of Cartmel is unique and precious. Dynamic schools, innovative businesses, the finest church building in the South Lakes, and an historic setting in thrilling countryside. The Village Society exists to celebrate all these great things whilst ensuring that change is both sustainable and enhancing. The quality of life here matters for residents and visitors alike.
📣SAVE THE DATE📣
Alongside the Cartmel Guild of Traders and Cartmel Priory, planning has started for an exciting celebration of Cartmel's historic and medieval heritage over the weekend of the 30th of September.
Watch this space for more details including a mouthwatering medieval dinner at @Cartmel Racecourse!

Looks like The Marshal’s Theatre Company’s production of Macbeth in Cartmel Priory w/c 10 September will set the tone perfectly!

THANK YOU - to speakers Mike Gibbons and Ewen Cameron for their informative Cartmel Village Society Annual Lecture in Cartmel's medieval Priory. The lecture mapped out the development of the Priory and its community since 1188 showing plans and diagrams, which were undertaken with thanks by David Coward, an excellent local architect.
Today is 'Small Business Saturday' so why not come out to support some of Cartmel's very own finest small businesses. Our cobbled narrow streets with characterful independent shops & businesses are a long way from a typical high street, which only adds to its appeal.
From candles and cards to cheeses and coffee, and of course not forgetting our famous sticky toffee pudding... where do you make a beeline for when you visit Cartmel? Share your favourites with us below ⬇️
The B and B opposite The Sticky Toffee Pudding shop is an excellent morning coffee, and cakes venue.
South Lakeland District Council has launched a further public consultation on the revised draft Cartmel Conservation Area Plan. Comments from the first consultation earlier this year (plus further work also being carried out) have resulted in changes to the draft plan. This means businesses, community groups, residents, and property owners now have another chance to share their views.
The draft plan proposes a number of properties being added to a 'local heritage list' aimed to further safeguard the village's heritage and character.
View the plan and have your say here before Thursday 22nd December or pop into Cartmel Priory or Cartmel Village Hall to see hard copies of the documents.
And are they still reviewing the parking situation 😩🤔
