elcome to our first issue of 2023! This month, we’ll banish any January blues and help you step into the new year with your best foot forward, in an Edition packed with ideas for getting out and enjoying Cambridge. If you’ve started the year with ambitions to get fit, but the idea of joining a gym leaves you cold, we’ve scoured the city for the most fun and inclusive exercise groups around. From a beer and running group to a nightclub-based ‘movement and mindfulness’ class, see if we can inspire you to don your trainers on page 50. Perhaps you’re keen to learn a language? Find out what’s on offer here – and why Cambridge has been deemed the number one spot in the UK for language education – on page 58. Hospitality has taken a battering over the past few years, but Cambridge’s culinary landscape is thriving once more, with a flurry of recent openings and more to come in the months ahead. Discover a gourmet hot chocolate shop, crumble pop-up, new pasta restaurant, artisan doughnut bakery and plenty more besides, as we meet the entrepreneurs preparing to make a splash on the local scene from page 37. Plus, we catch up with comedy king Harry Hill ahead of his first tour since 2013, learning that while he may be getting older, he’s got no plans to slow down or play it safe (page 23). Adored actress Lucy Porter also reflects on advancing years in this issue, sharing news of her latest stand-up show Wake-Up Call – a laugh-a-minute ‘midlife crisis management seminar’. Check it out on page 17. We’ve also got all the headlines from the culture scene, interiors inspiration, gardening tips, plus a great giveaway in partnership with Cambridge Half Marathon – enjoy the issue and see you next month!
