This is the Cumbria Tourism Podcast where we bring you inspiring stories and great ideas from every corner of the county. Please do get in touch and let us know if there is a subject you would like us to cover. 

Kirkby Lonsdale is a vibrant market town with a unique character. You can learn more at their TIC, run by a dedicated team of volunteers sharing local knowledge and enthusiasm for the area as well as generating plenty of pride and connection within the community. 

This isn’t a tourist information, but a town information, and a valuable resource and hub for both visitors and residents.

In this episode, we meet Town Information Manager Marie Batty and volunteer Jane Crichton to find out exactly how volunteers help create a thriving TIC that preserves local culture, involves the community and inspires visitors.
