Leisure and Culture

Carlisle is a bustling, modern regional centre that is proud of its rich heritage. It's the place to be for culture, heritage, the great outdoors, sports and study - a compact city surrounded by acres of beautiful parkland.

The city boasts a range of sport and physical activity opportunites and leisure facilities for all ages.

The city is steeped in history, with a 900-year-old Castle, a Cathedral dating back to 1122 and the nearby Birdoswald Roman Fort and Visitor Centre.

Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery portrays Carlisle's fascinating and turbulent history as a Border city as well as displaying some of the country's best traditional and modern artists as well as putting on a varied programme of exhibitions.

In the evening, there are nightclubs, music bars, restaurants and some of the region's top live music venues.
