Town Rallies: Christmas Ad Celebrates Community Spirit

A unique Christmas advert from Cockermouth aims to capture the town's resilient spirit, drawing parallels to major retailers with its festive message. The film series features Mrs Claus embarking on a shopping spree, highlighting the town's commitment to supporting its local businesses.

This initiative serves to commemorate the community's ability to "rally" together during challenging periods, such as the aftermath of Storm Desmond. The advert emphasizes the town's strong community bonds, showcasing how residents and shopkeepers supported each other through difficult times.

Filmmakers hope the campaign will boost tourism and celebrate Cockermouth's independent shops. The project involved local personalities and residents, including a family who found joy in participating, ultimately aiming to promote the town's unique character and supportive environment.
