STARTERS
Cambridge Dragon Boat Festival returns on 7 September for a day of action on the river and bankside fun. Taking place on a stretch of the Cam at Fen Ditton, the festival sees clubs, companies and groups of friends battling it out in traditional Chinese-style dragon boats, while there’s entertainment, food trucks and a bar to enjoy for spectators. It’s all in aid of a great cause, too, raising tens of thousands of pounds each year for Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust. dragonboatfestivals.co.uk DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL DON’T MISS!
