WELCOME
Turn over a new leaf ovember is upon us, bringing crackling bonfires, hearty food and the beginnings of the Christmas build-up. The fireworks are back with a bang at Midsummer Common on the 4th – and if you’re joining the throngs for the festivities, you can read all about it (and other Guy Fawkes fun) on page 25. Another autumn tradition beloved by our city is the Steele-Bodger match: a rugby showdown that’s been taking place annually for 75 years. Learn more about its history and what to expect this time on page 81. Need to start blitzing your Christmas list? Don’t miss our guide to the best festive markets around Cambridgeshire on page 50, including a gift fair at Ely Cathedral, artisan food and drink aplenty at Burwash Manor, and local crafts galore at the Cambridge Made Fair. On the culture scene, there’s news of this month’s literary festival, upcoming Christmas shows and a recent student-made film about life in the city. We also hear from some of Cambridge’s best-loved artists to learn what inspires them about living here – and what makes the city such a hotbed of creativity – on page 18. Elsewhere, find news of pop-ups, festive menus and more in this month’s Savour & Sip, the most dazzling winter illuminations, tips for creating a cosy sanctuary, a chance to win a North Norfolk minibreak and lots more. Enjoy the issue – and see you next month!
