The 2025 Cumbria in Bloom Awards celebrated the creativity and dedication of communities right across the county. This year, we held three ceremonies to recognise the achievements of our groups, volunteers and schools, each one full of colour, pride and community spirit.
A big thank you to our sponsor, Hyperfast, whose generous support made the 2025 Cumbria in Bloom Awards ceremonies possible. Their sponsorship helped us celebrate communities, volunteers, and schools across the county, ensuring that each event was a memorable and inspiring occasion.
