DON’T MISS WIMPOLE HISTORY FEST I VAL
A feast of history, heritage and hospitality awaits this month at Wimpole History Festival, which returns from 20 to 23 June. From archery workshops to sword school, there’s plenty of interactive fun to enjoy, plus a bustling line-up of high- profile historians, authors, journalists, broadcasters and more. Speakers include TV historian Lucy Worsley, author and former House of Lords peer Melvyn Bragg, and producer and director Sally Wainwright. It’s a great opportunity to explore the Wimpole Estate itself, too, which offers a grand old country mansion to explore, as well as rolling parkland and a library of more than 10,000 books, making it the perfect backdrop for the festival. If you need any more incentive to check it out, there’s also a street food market, featuring top local traders like Azahar, Jack’s Gelato, Brewboard and Rural Coffee Project. wimpolehistoryfestival.com
ONE TO TRY OPEN FARM SUNDAY Have fun in the great outdoors when the LEAF Open Farm Sunday returns on 9 June. A chance to learn more about farming, meet animals and enjoy tractor rides, walks and demonstrations, the event is ideal for families and is part of a national initiative that will see hundreds of farms up and down the country open their gates to the public. Locally, you can visit Manor Farm in Harlton, which is open 10am to 4pm for barrel rides, craft stalls, welly wanging, machinery demos and a hog roast. Over at Hope Farm in Knapwell, meet the goats, sheep, cows and ponies, tuck into barbecue food and ice creammade on the farm, plus have a go on a bouncy castle or get your face painted. farmsunday.org
