October 2024

Leo Group  - Title Sponsor of The Winter Droving 2024 Leo Group, owner and operator of Omega Proteins near Penrith, is looking forward to the Winter Droving in Penrith as this year's title sponsor. This spectacular annual event, taking place on Saturday, October 26, marks the start of winter and celebrates rural life in Cumbria with local food, entertainment, masquerade and a magical lantern procession. The Penrith Winter Droving Festival has not only established itself as a well-known and popular event, attracting visitors to the town from all over the UK, but also brings around £2 million into Penrith's economy each year. Reliant on local Sponsors Organised by Eden Arts, a not-for-profit organisation, the event depends on the support of local organisations and businesses. However, increasing costs in recent years have put the future of Winter Droving at risk, making Eden Arts more reliant than ever on local sponsorship.
