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.
With the glorious weather set to continue into next week, why not make the most of it and join one of Cartmel's Wellbeing Walks?
Walks are held every Tuesday at 11am, starting from the Racecourse Grandstand entrance and last for around an hour.
Everyone's welcome - of any level - and the walks are a great way to enjoy the local area and the health benefits of being outside, whilst also meeting & chatting to some lovely people at the same time.
Get in touch if you want to find out more! 🚶♂️
'Let's move to Cartmel' says the current edition of Lancashire Life Magazine and who are we to argue?! What do you think their top reasons are for a move to our beautiful village? Share your thoughts with us below ⬇️
My grandma was born in that house with the window facing in 1887
It used to be lovely in Cartmel,But now it gets to Busy.
Out of season 10/10. In season 8/10. Great shops, people, restaurants and walks, both easy and challenging. Lovely for anniversariy weekends and 5* dinners. A real jewel. Also many cottage- let's. Try "Longlands" cottages. I have had special weekend and summer breaks there.
Such amazing countryside, but a village feel in Cartmel. Of course the infamous Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding is a draw for anyone with a sweet tooth🙂
CARTMEL FISH SLABS AND PINNACLE RESTORATION – UPDATE FROM THE PARISH COUNCIL
Work is progressing steadily. The on-going monitoring during excavation by the archaeological consultants has not led to any artefacts being discovered and in consequence the restoration of the Fish Slabs and Pinnacle can now progress to reconstruction. The completion date is still estimated to be early July.
Well done ACPC
It’s a shame they have damaged some of the steps, but hopefully it will look lovely when finished
COMMUNITIES should be vigilant following spate of burglaries in South Lakeland
Detectives are continuing to investigate a series of burglaries in the South Lakes area of Cumbria.
Over the weekend of the 6 - 7 May 2023 there have been reported burglaries in the Allithwaite and Flookburgh areas. The offences are believed to have happened overnight.
It is believed the suspects are targeting addresses whilst residents are away from the house. The suspects will usually force entry to rear doors and windows before entering the houses and stealing jewellery and cash.
Police are appealing for residents in the areas of Allithwaite and Flookburgh who have any CCTV, doorbell camera or vehicle dash-camera footage from 6 - 7 May 2023, to contact police.
You can report online at //www.cumbria.police.uk/report-it quoting log 62 of 8 May 2023.
You can also phone on 101.
Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
Police would like to remind residents to be vigilant and ensure when they leave their houses to lock all doors and windows, install CCTV or video doorbells if possible and leave lights on where they can.
Patrols are being increased across south Lakeland and officers are taking measures to deter offenders and help prevent further burglaries.
After the incident earlier this week when suspicious individuals were trying to sell items door-to-door around Cartmel village and being persistent and abusive when declined.
The incident was reported on to the Cumbria Neighbourhood Watch Network and the information was quickly circulated via the message alert system on to the other members of our local scheme – Central Cartmel. It is worth encouraging all Cartmel Village residents to join this individually, so they can be notified directly and quickly of any future incidents. It is easy to register by:

Park View, Cartmel - Temporarily Closed. A dangerous tree is being taken down in the cemetery, main diversion via Green Bank back through village.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION - Cartmel Support Network (CARTNET) have received two separate reports of young males walking around Cartmel village from door-to-door trying to sell goods and being persistent/aggressive when their offer is declined. They have been reported to Cumbria Constabulary 101 who already had received reports/complaints from Allithwaite.
At least two men have been seen and seem to be in their twenties with dark short hair and clean shaven. They appear to be around 5ft 9ins in height, one is slim and the other a bit more heavily built. They are dressed in dark clothing and carrying a large holdall/rucksack. They claim to be on an offender rehabilitation scheme (unlikely to be true) and might try to show some kind of pass or ID.
Can you please be alert to their possible presence in your area and (if possible) advise vulnerable residents not to open their doors to them? Please let this page know if there are any further incidents or pass the information directly to 101 (or 999 if there is an emergency).
Thank you.
One called at my house today, he gave me the story about being an offender, he has an apprenticeship offer with JCB if he sells so many items a day! the lad had an id card but didnt show it to me, by his accent he was from the North East. When i refused to buy anything he gave me a dirty look and said “Really” and stomped off in a huff. Definitely something not right
The restoration project for the historic Cartmel Fish Slabs and Pinnacle has commenced this week
The Cartmel Village Society (CVS) working in conjunction with the Allithwaite and Cartmel Parish Council have been successful in bringing forward restoration of the Mediaeval Fish Slabs and Pinnacle in Market Square.
Seed funding of £10,000 from the CVS has helped secure a major Grant from the Lottery Fund towards restoration and extensive community engagement on Cartmel’s heritage.
Restoration should be completed by the end of June 2023.
Visiting tomorrow
Well done the CVS and Barry Dean!
Fantastic teamwork 👏
Barry Dean has put huge effort into ensuring the success of this application
Fabulous
Well done Barry and all at CVS 🙂
What they doing to it
A Happy Easter Sunday to you all, with blue skies early this morning over Cartmel Priory Church viewed from Priest Lane.
Where’s the George Cross flag, I’ve noticed it not been there for a while?
What a beautiful sunny start to the Easter break we've had today. ☀️
If you're lucky enough to be visiting Cartmel this week, you might like to join in the Easter Vigil at Cartmel Priory on Saturday 8th April at 8.30pm. It's the first official celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus where The Paschal Candle spreads light amongst those present. It's a highly symbolic, very moving service.
Find out more here:
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. ⬇️
