Our Swifts Restaurant is named after the original location of Carlisle Racecourse at the Swifts area of the city, close to the city centre. The course moved locations to its current location in 1904🏇

What a beautiful view, Carlisle Cathedral. ⭐

💯This! Sadiq Khan & Justine Simons OBE have put arts & culture at the heart of civic life in the capital. The transformative impact that London Borough of Culture continues to have is testament to that! ✨

I remember being in the crowd that day, 16 years of age and never imagined that later, the Civic Centre would become such a big part of my life. I also remember being at the first game of the next season, beating Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. Happy days. 💙

What exciting secrets are waiting to be found this time? Each year we think it can’t get any better and every time the excavations prove us wrong. The evidence shows that Carlisle (Luguvalium) played a key Imperial role on the northern frontier of Roman Britain.
