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.
From this Thursday 23rd March, you’ll be able to see full details of the new plan at Cartmel Priory and Cartmel Village Hall. There’s also a link below to view online. ⬇️
This year's Cartmel Choral Society Spring Concert takes place at Cartmel Priory on Sunday 2nd April at 3.30pm. The choir will be singing Dvorák's Mass in D, Haydn - Insanae et vanae curae, Schubert - Stabat Mater, and Mozart - Ave verum corpus. They will once again be accompanied by talented organist Andy Plowman.
Music director Adrian Self said: “These pieces are some of the most beautiful in the repertoire. They are all lovely, but Mozart’s 'Ave Verum' dates from his ‘miracle’ year - 1791 - the final year of his life, and I can’t think of a more perfect three pages in all music.“
Entry is £10 by programme at the door, children free.
From sticky toffee to michelin dining, Cartmel might be well known for its food, but its also a great place to pick up those special gifts for special people. Whether its Mother's Day, a birthday or an anniversary, our range of specialist independent shops are a long way from a busy high street - promising a much more personalised and enjoyable experience.
See you on the Cartmel cobbles! 🛍

I am currently reading an academic work by Jonathan Healey The Blazing World....a new history of Revolutionary England. There are many references to Cartmel, the Priory and Jane Thornborough. In 1622 the death toll doubled due to starvation. The Parish Register refers to William Staines the 5 year old son of Mabel Swainson of Yorfulyate. I have Googled this place but nothing is listed. Does anyone know where this place was? The boys father was Oliver Staines a servant of Jane Thornborough and one time wearer of one of her gowns for the mock wedding in the Priory.
As it's Valentine's Day, we want you to share what you love most about Cartmel. Could it be our magnificent Cartmel Priory or a fun day out at Cartmel Racecourse? Could it be our outstanding places to eat & drink or maybe our uniquely independent shops? There's so much to love! ❤️
I am excited to visit...one day in the future!! I have loved Cartmel from a distance! Can not wait to experience Cartmel!💟

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