A COUPLE have used one of the most prestigious car festivals in the world to proudly show off the best produce Cumbria has to offer.
Andrew and Amanda Brass, from Grange, have been visiting the Goodwood Festival of Speed for a number of years.
Appalled at the lack of Cumbrian representation in West Sussex, the couple sensed an opportunity that local businesses could cash in on.
Unsurprisingly, 12 regional food and drink producers jumped at the chance, and two large hampers were filled for the 650-mile round trip.
Mr Brass said: "The hampers were gratefully received by the Goodwood team and we want to thank everyone for their amazing support."
The 12 producers contributing to the hampers were:
Coniston Brewing Company
Windermere Brewing Company
Willow Water
Hawkshead Relish
Kin Toffee Vodka
Grasmere Gingerbread
Barngates Brewing Company
Ginger Bakers
Carvetii Coffee
Romney’s Kendal Mint Cake
Hawkshead Brewery
Lakes Distillery
