Marmalade fans can enjoy some extra events in the days leading up to the World’s Original Marmalade Festival, held on February 13 & 14 at Dalemain, near Penrith.

Join the Marmalade Workshop on 3 February – it’s a unique opportunity to enjoy the day in front of Dalemain’s Aga, watching Annette Gibbons OBE at work, conjuring up citrus recipes to spice the tastebuds and enthuse the cook in all of us.

On the 4 February there’s a ‘Taste of Marmalade Cruise’ and two-course marmalade lunch in the Dalemain Mansion Mediaeval Hall.
