The State Management StoryCarlisle pubs under state control 1916 –1973
16 July – 4 September 2016
Marking the centenary of the introduction of the State Management Scheme to Carlisle in 1916, this exhibition will explore the intriguing story of the centralisation of pubs and breweries in Carlisle under government control.
In an attempt to curb the increase in drunken behaviour triggered by the influx of rail and munitions workers to Carlisle during the First World War, many of Carlisle’s pubs, breweries and drinking establishments were closed down. The pubs that remained were strictly regulated to reduce excessive drinking.
Follow the development of games, food and entertainment as aspects of pub culture, and find out how the legacy of the State Management Scheme still remains present in Carlisle today. This exhibition is a collaborative project between Tullie House Museum and the Carlisle City Business Group.
Event Alert
Centenary Beer FestivalSaturday 16 July, 11am–4pmJoin us on the first day of our new State Management Story exhibition to mark 100 years since State Management was introduced in Carlisle. Enjoy a relaxed afternoon of family games, special events and the opportunity to sample beers from the Carlisle Brewing Company. Please check website for further details and ticket prices.

The building of war memorials after the First World War represents the greatest single project of public art the country has ever seen. There are estimated to be about 1,000 1914-18 war memorials in the county in varying formats; cenotaph, plaque, figurative sculpture, stained glass or scroll. This talk by Stephen White from Carlisle Library looks at the finest examples of Cumbrian war memorial art and examines some of the issues relating to wording and design.
The Embroiderer’s GuildTuesday 7 June
The Embroiderer’s Guild was formed in 1906 to ‘keep up a good standard of work and design’. Over the years it has developed from elitist beginnings and now welcomes anyone with a love of textiles. The Guild has an important collection of around 11,000 pieces of traditional, ethnic and contemporary embroideries and a nationwide network of branches. This talk, delivered by Gill Goodfellow, is part of the Cumberland Branch Diamond Jubilee celebrations, so join us to discover some of the treasures of the Guild Collections.

Tales of the Frontier: Wall Stories Saturday 28 May, 2pm – 4pm Lecture Theatre Free, Booking advisable
Hadrian’s Wall has dominated the northern landscape for nearly two millennia. Today, visitors are guided towards the forts, and tend to focus on the military aspects of the monument. But there is much more to this World Heritage site than Roman swords and sandals. Throughout its long history, the Wall has influenced and inspired both the communities who lived in its shadow, and the people who came to wonder at it. In this half-day session, join the Durham University Archaeology Department to celebrate the unique cultural landscape of Hadrian’s Wall as part of their ‘Tales of the Frontier’ project. Can we change your perception of the Wall as simply a ‘military frontier’? The afternoon will begin with a presentation by Professor Richard Hingley, Professor of Archaeology at Durham University, followed by a more informal discussion around the themes explored in the projects ‘Wall Stories’ leaflets, which can be picked up from Tullie House or downloaded from talesofthefrontier.org. ‘Wall Stories’ explores the people and places, past and present, that have been shaped by the monument.
Book now to find out more about this fascinating monument, and share your own experiences and ideas.
Vikings Revealed: Cumwhitton and beyond…Saturday 9 July, 1pm – 5pm Lecture Theatre£15/£12 Concessions and Members

Speakers include Tim Padley, our Curator of Archaeology and staff from Oxford Archaeology North who carried out the excavations and published the report on the site that brought the various strands of research together.

Eycott Hill Nature Reserve, Nr Berrier, Penrith
Ever been to a Nature Reserve and wondered what really lives there? Join one of the Bioblitz walks at Eycott Hill, one of the newest nature reserves in Cumbria to find out about bats, dragonflies, plants, birds and much more.
