A POPULAR Eden venue attracting more than 60,000 visitors a year is to become a centre for craft and artisan businesses.
Bill Dodd, the owner of Wetheriggs Country Pottery at Penrith, is inviting applications from businesses to become
on-site producers.
Bids for space are being invited from businesses such as specialist ice-cream producers, potters and ceramicists, candle and furniture makers, wood turners, weavers, interior and garden designers and gift shops featuring Cumbria-produced merchandise.
"It is planned that all successful applicants will be makers/producers on the site and only in very limited and specific circumstances will there be any opportunity for resale businesses' only," said Mr Dodd.
"There will be a good level of marketing support included in the package."
