Arts, crafts and such

• wtf
• not sure reli
• If you venture to the Rheged centre, hoping to learn something about Cumbria then you'll discover it's a sparsely filled shopping mall. You can buy many of the countys 'crafts' here. I as a resident am filled with rage as these crafts give tourists the misconception everyone here wears clogs and jumpers.
• Actually there's quite a few of these due to all the rich twats who buy our houses and inhabit them for approximately two days per year, hereby preventing those of us who actually live and work here from moving to our own pad, or improving our current one.
• Potfest. Trading Standards should be notified
• UCC in the evenings
• Too much, too many wannabe hippies

• just the crafty baker. A craftsman unto himself. All hail King Mike!!!
• Any shop in Penrith sells sheep shite (plentiful supply) on a bit of wood and charges a tenner for it. You know what? People actually buy this stuff.
• If you enjoy collecting badly made, sentimental tat then Penrith is the place for you! Anyone can be a "Rural Craftsman"-all you need to do is stick some pieces of slate together and HEY PRESTO! An attractive yet expensive lakeland ornament.
• a couple of craft shops. you'd be better off going to anywhere else for art except the UCC art dep't. its full of great art, all by Pete Johnson and his posse
• There's actually quite a lot of 'such' in Penrith. And it sticks to your clothes like a bastard on heat. (See "Bike shops")
• Quite a few craft shops, some of which are actually good.
• Loads of Art and Craft shops around the town - from the Devonshire Arcade to St Andrews Church.
