WELCOME
A change of pace
EDITORIAL Editor in chief Nicola Foley 01223 499459
fter a summer of splashing about at the Lido, frequenting festivals and frolicking by the river, September inevitably brings a gear shift. The nights will draw in, the air will (probably?) cool, the students will return and Cambridge will be gripped by a busy ‘back to school’ energy, as it is every autumn. If you’re already sad to say goodbye to summer, I hope this issue lifts your spirits with news of all the amazing events and exciting openings heading our way in coming weeks. The local culture scene is springing to life, serving up cracking comedy, gigs galore and dynamic theatre – plus Open Cambridge, a celebration of our city’s hidden gems and unique heritage. Kicking off on 9 September, it’s a chance to discover secret nature reserves, majestic libraries, incredible architecture and fascinating stories of the past. Find out more in this month’s Culture Club, from page 7. This month’s Savour & Sip brings news of a Latin American restaurant, a recent addition to the street food scene and a new home for Amélie – one of our favourite indie eateries! Elisha celebrates the arrival of blackberry season, sharing tips for constructing a world-beating crumble, while Miriam heads off on a journey of vinous discovery, meeting the local winemakers putting East Anglia on the map. There’s also interviews with Game of Thrones star Anton Lesser and local author Lorraine Brown to seek out. Enjoy the issue and see you next month!
