The Source is an Art, Live Music and Performance venue based on Nelson Street in Carlisle.

As well as coffees and teas we have a selection of herbal and organic alternatives. We also offer a full service bar with a wide range of world beers and wines.

The Cafe and Performance Room
In the Cafe you can relax surrounded by work from local artists, use the free WI-FI and on Thursdays take in our Open Mic night.

The Performance Room is where you can see live bands, poetry nights, cabaret shows or join in one of the many classes that we have.

Both rooms are also available for hire for parties and events at very reasonable rates.
