Four new trustees have been appointed at a popular Cockermouth charity as it prepares to reopen to the public later this year.
The four responded to a recruitment drive by Kirkgate Arts and Heritage last autumn.
The charity runs the Kirkgate community venue which is home to a diverse range of social and entertainment activities.
It also runs Cockermouth Heritage Group, Arts Out Wide, an online offering, and Arts Out West, the project that helps village halls put on shows by professional musicians, entertainers, theatre companies and dance groups.
The new trustees are Cockermouth residents Andy Semple and Sue Moses, Nanette Rigg of Blindcrake and Duncan Nicholson of Dearham.
