@SkillsFair Well, 3 weeks after announcing the details for the 13th skills fair, only 6 exhibitor places remain!
We’re blown away and delighted that so many national and local businesses are joining us in 2027. If you are wanting one email [email protected]
Invitations have started to go out to exhibitors today. If you’re interested in booking a space send a DM here. With @John4Carlisle

The skills fair of course would not be possible without the dedication and commitment of @John4Carlisle John Stevenson. The person who pulls all the other people and organisations together. With 12 years of skills fairs under his belt, we now look to the 13th!
And last but by no means least all the businesses who attended, schools that supported and the hundreds and hundreds of people who came along and made the day the success it was. Thank you to you all.
Next a huge thank you to our supporters - Inspira, @JCPinCumbria , @CumbriaUni , @Gen2Training , @JTLTraining @phxtraining , @System_People and our pals at Print Point, Business2Door, the News & Star and Cumbria Crack. Every one plays a vital part in making this event happen.
The next big thank you to @CarlisleCollege , from the Principal, to the management team and all the staff (and there are many) who help with arrangements before and on the day. We couldn’t do this without you.
And so this morning - some thank yous.
First of all to our sponsors - @CumberlandBS @PersimmonHomes and @pladis_Global (McVities / Carr’s). Without them the skills fair just wouldn’t happen and we are always grateful for their positive approach and input.
The biggest thank you also to the catering and hospitality students of Carlisle College for preparing and serving the most wonderful lunch for the exhibitors. Their talent is amazing and what a credit you all are to the college. The compliments were tremendous. Well done to you
And that’s it! What an amazing day we have had. More to follow on this but a huge thank you to John Stevenson, the staff at Carlisle College, our sponsors and supporters, and all the businesses that exhibited.
There are so many businesses here across so many sectors it would be a shame not to take the opportunity to talk to them one to one! Here until 6.30pm.
20 mins in and the response is tremendous! You really don’t want to miss this……
At Carlisle College until 6pm today.
