WELCOME
Happy New Year!
f you’re looking to banish the January blues and get out and about this month, you’ve come to the right place. This issue is brimming with news of great gigs, thrilling theatre and amazing art exhibitions. We also highlight an array of exciting dining experiences heading our way, because – despite the battering the hospitality sector has faced over the past couple of years – the road ahead looks bright for the Cambridge food scene, as we discover in Ones to Watch. A regular fixture of the January issue, it introduces people and places about to make a splash – with this year’s round-up featuring a swish Sawston cafe, a burger pop-up from a pair of local legends, a hotly anticipated pub in Chesterton and lots more. Discover your new favourite eatery on page 45. If we can’t coax you out and you’re keen to embrace some time at home after December’s festivities, we’ve also got ideas for staying in. Local vegan cafe Stem & Glory serves up delicious recipes to try at home on page 40, while Charlotte has a handful of brilliant book recommendations on page 21. With a reimagining of Greek myth, a new Sherlock Holmes mystery and a maritime Gothic horror story, there’s truly something for all tastes! We’ve also got tasty tipples for Dry January, plus ideas for fun local classes to help you blitz your fitness goals in 2022. Happy New Year, and see you next month!
