About this Event

Hosted by Dave Camlin with Sing Owt! and Wild Chorus community choirs, inspired by the traditional Cumbrian Merry Neet. Merry Neets are lively and inclusive community gatherings where everyone who wants to can showcase their creativity, and where everyone comes away feeling uplifted with community spirit!

Each Merry Neet has a theme, often inspired by an international day of celebration or the turning of the seasons. Join us as performers or audience to share songs, stories, poems, dances, jokes or anything else you fancy around the chosen theme. Express your creative side, or simply share in the creative spirit!

The theme for Nov 22nd is 'community' to celebrate our first Merry Neet in the re-opened brewery tap room in Cockermouth, a venue rapidly finding its place at the heart of the community.

The theme for Dec 19th is 'light in the darkness' and the session afterwards will be a pub carols session.
