STARTERS
Guaranteed to go off with a bang, one of the biggest free events in town – courtesy of the city council – is Bonfire Night on Midsummer Common. The fireworks are at 7pm on 5 November, with a huge selection of food stalls open from 6pm, so there’s no need to dash home from work first to grab a bite. Each year the sky is transformed into a breathtaking kaleidoscope of colour, with a sonic crackle and pop to match. The bonfire will be lit after the firework display, and for further thrillseekers, there’s the fairground too, which like the food stalls, runs till 10pm. cambridgelive.org.uk BOOM TIME!
DUXFORD LODGE OPENS
The start of this month marks the opening of The Lodge, a new boutique hotel in Duxford with 17 stunning bedrooms. The owners fell in love with the building, located on Ickleton Road, and have spent the last year lovingly restoring it to its former glory – and then some. As well as the luxurious bedrooms, The Lodge boasts a stylish co-working space plus a meeting room with all mod cons. You’re even welcome to bring your pooch to the co-working space during the day and for an overnight stay in the hotel rooms, so your furry friend needn’t get left at home. There’s food, too, courtesy of basement cafe Graze, which is open to the public every day and serves up tasty sharing plates and plenty of veggie and vegan options. In the evenings, sample Scoff – a more intimate restaurant whose menu showcases the best of seasonal and local produce, as well as offering cocktails and local spirits and beers. thelodgeduxford.com
