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.
The Season Opener at Cartmel Racecourse is just a few weeks away now. You can find out all you need to know about tickets on the post below. 👇
CARTMEL SURGERY would really like to recruit more members for their Patient Participation Group (PPG). Their next meeting is on Thursday 19th May at 2pm at the surgery for an hour.
The PPG group is an unpaid group to share and test out ideas for new services that the Surgery would like to try and also to give robust feedback about how patients feel about the Surgery and its services. It is hoped to run 2 PPG groups (with some members attending both) with one group meeting face-to-face and the other as an online forum to increase participation and diversity.
Anyone who is interested should contact the Surgery (by any means) to discuss which group they wish to join and to make arrangements.
Did you know that Cartmel still has its own 'jail'?
Now a quirky holiday cottage, Village Lock-Ups were introduced in the 18th & 19th centuries as places for rogues, drunks, and miscreants to be detained until they could be brought before the area magistrate.
And Cartmel's very own Village Lock-Up has even been awarded listed status!
Find out more on our website along with other insider tips on what to see & do. 😉
There was one at Cark right in the middle of the road at the bottom of the police station hill.
CARTMEL PENINSULA LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY’S next meeting will be on Thursday, May 12th at 7.30pm in the village hall when David Olver will talk about Swarthmoor Hall and Quaker meetings in the Cartmel and Furness Peninsulas.

Beautiful and what a lovely thing for the children to know , that their work is a permanent part of the village 🙂
I’m going to try to reach some more locals to see if we can get Toby to £1000 for St Mary’s Hospice. Even if you couldn’t join in the coffee morning today you could still help Toby Ryland , Danielle Willsher and the team raise even more money for St Mary’s Hospice by donating to the just giving link below! Hospices get NO government money. They survive on fundraising by wonderful people 🙏🌼 Many of us may well need St Mary’s 💛 www.justgiving.com/fundraising/tobyrylandcoffeemorningflookburgh
