WELCOME
Going swimmingly n celebration of its centenary, this month’s cover honours the iconic Jesus Green Lido. One of the largest outdoor pools in Europe, this beloved local landmark is a staple of summer in the city – and winter too, for some hardy souls! Join us as we dive into its history and find out how the team will be making a splash to see in 100 years on page 34. Also bringing joy to Jesus Green this month is Cambridge Pride, back for a dazzling day of music and entertainment on 17 June. Get the lowdown on page 9. Another shindig making a return is Secret Garden Party, touching down in the Cambs countryside on 20 July for a weekend of glitter-doused fun. Hear from festival founder Freddie Fellowes on page 17 and discover why the event disappeared for five long years – and why it’s back and better than ever for 2023! Elsewhere in the issue, we bring you the best books to enjoy while sunbathing in the city’s parks, hear from soul star Lemar ahead of his Cambridge Club Festival appearance this month, and chat to the ADC’s Luke Dell, who tells us about life at this thriving creative hub. Enjoy the issue and see you next month!
