How it all began
Marmalade has been made and served at Dalemain for hundreds of years.  From the 18th Century there was a very good citrus market in Carlisle where oranges could be purchased although originally the marmalade for the house was made with quince and the archive holds a number of recipe books from this period.

For the past seven years, Dalemain has hosted The World’s Original Marmalade Awards & Festival firmly placing it at the centre of the marmalade map.

From 50 jars in 2005, the Awards have grown each year and in 2012, nearly, 1,800 jars of marmalade were entered and judged.
