Egremont Town Council
Please Note:
On Monday 14th April, the grasscutting season will commence in Egremont Cemetery and the public are reminded to remove all items/flowers from the length of the grave to assist in the maintenance of the grounds. You can place any items etc on the base of the headstone but anything over this will be removed.
Please note the curator does not have the time to pick up every item on a grave and therefore anything left is susceptible to damage or the grass may be left uncut, you are therefore kindly requested to co-operate with the Town Council’s policy to enable the whole of the cemetery to look the best it can be.
Help for Winter - Please find attached a leaflet (PDF) detailing all of the help and support that is available during the Winter months.

Making a difference in our community
Residents and ex residents from Calderwood have been making a difference in the rounds of Egremont Castle. Every week they are working on making improvements through tidying up areas, de weeding areas and generally working hard for our town jewel. Thank you all.
Growing Well is coming to Egremont
Growing Well, a Cumbrian mental health charity, is coming to Egremont. In early 2024 we will be re-opening the Beck Green plant nursery on Cross Side and will use the site to deliver our targeted mental health intervention to local people in need. We will also be running a community day for the local public to get involved in our horticultural enterprise as volunteers where they can learn new skills and meet new people. The site will generate enough fruit and vegetables to fill up to 100 veg boxes per week (50 of which will be subsidised for low-income families).
We are opening the gates to Beck Green between 1-3pm on Friday 6th October. We invite you to come and meet staff from our other Cumbrian sites, learn more about our work and our plans to get the site back up and running.
Please note: Beck Green is very overgrown and not currently in use. The event is simply an opportunity for a quick view of the site and a chance to meet our team. We regret that there is no wheelchair access at this time and no parking on or near to the site just yet (please use Beck Green car park and walk from here). Please also note that there are no toilet facilities. No booking necessary. For all enquiries, please contact mary@growingwell.co.uk
Representatives from Egremont Town Council, Cumberland Council, Groundworks, Thomas Armstrong and Westlakes Academy came together to plant the two beds located at the entrance to the Academy. The project is part of the Egremont Main Street refurbishment scheme which includes also the creation of a bespoke seating area beside Bet Fred, newly refurbished seats, new bus shelters and soon to be seen new planters. These will add up to making improvements to the Main Street welcomed by all. The scheme is funded by Cumberland Council, Sellafield Ltd and Egremont Town Council.
