SPEND TIME IN NATURE 20
HAPPY NEW YEAR

22 REFRESH A ROOM slightly stagnant and give it a new year zhuzh with a few choice additions such as soft furnishings, houseplants or pictures (which you’ve been meaning to hang for months!), or by opting for a full overhaul to inject brand-new energy and colour into your home for 2026. Local homeware stores such as Glasswells, Lee Longlands and Small & Green are perfect places to start for inspiration – as well as Cambridge Edition ’s own interior pages, of course! 23 GET INSPIRED Attending talks to listen to inspirational individuals share Choose a room in your house that’s a bit unloved or feels their thoughts, experience and expertise is a great way to renew your motivation throughout the year. Whether it’s the person you find inspiring or the topic they’re speaking on, enthusiasm can be infectious, and you’re likely to leave the
auditorium full of energy and ideas. Many of our local museums, galleries and venues host regular talks, including the Fitzwilliam Museum, Kettle’s Yard, Murray Edwards College, Cambridge Junction and the Arts Theatre Cambridge. Keep an eye out for announcements about this year’s Cambridge Literary Festival! 24 LEARN A NEW SKILL Lots of places in the Cambridge area provide taster sessions or more regular classes to help you learn new practical and creative skills. Take Marmalade Print Studio in Soham, for instance, which offers relaxed printmaking workshops for beginners. There are also language classes, such as French and Spanish with Alliance Française. For a range of vocational courses or evening classes, adult education can be found at Anglia Ruskin University, Hills Road Sixth Form College, Cambridge Regional College and more. Online there’s Future Learn and the Open University.
