Grantchester, a glass of something delicious at the Wine Merchants, or cooling down with a scoop of Jack’s Gelato – there really is no better time to savour Cambridge than peak summer. Sadly, the Big Weekend won’t be back this July, but there are a host of other open-air events to enjoy, from festivals to outdoor theatre and comedy gigs. We’ve got news on all of them in this month’s Culture Club, from page 7. The iconic Cambridge Shakespeare Festival is back, too, pitching up in college gardens to lay on a summer of sumptuous performances. Hosting around 200 productions over two months, pulling this together is a mammoth task, but one which artistic director Dr David Crilly relishes – hear from him on page 10. We also chat with Angeline Morrison, who plays this month at Cambridge Folk Festival. Last year’s winner of the Christian Raphael Prize, she fuses fresh insights and ancient folk traditions with mesmerising results. Read her story on page 20. In this month’s Savour & Sip, there’s a beautiful summer recipe from Poets House, a review of The Rupert Brooke’s exquisite new afternoon tea and an ode to strawberries from Elisha. We also sit down with Becca from foodPark, who shares the story of the street food collective so far – and its exciting plans on the horizon. Read all about it on page 40. If you’re in need of a holiday, we’ve got two fabulous giveaways inside the issue – both offering magical minibreaks to lucky Cambridge Edition readers – get the lowdown on pages 25 and 65. Enjoy the issue and see you next month!
