Welcome to the Carlisle Festival, (the new name of the Carlisle International Summer Festival),a highly acclaimed event in the cultural calendar of the historic border city of Carlisle situated in the north west of England.

The 2010 Festival is to be held from 3-10 July. Details of the programme will be available shortly.

The Festival seeks to bring musicians of international repute to Carlisle, to encourage local professional and talented amateur artistes and to involve the wider community in classical music, showing that it can be life-enhancing and inclusive.
