There’s a chance to win tickets to the Thursford Christmas Spectacular, worth more than £200, as well as our list of Christmas markets to visit, a gift guide packed with clever present ideas and a countdown feature to help you plan the festive season.

But as the nights draw in, it’s comforting to know that our city has plenty of after-dark celebrations this month – from the fireworks on Midsummer Common to the festive Big Switch On in Market Square and at Cambridge railway station, along with light trails at Wimpole Estate and the Cambridge University Botanic Garden. Taking part in these nighttime activities is a proven way to boost your mood, literally showing the city in a glowing new light. Cambridge is also hosting three festivals this month: the Literary Festival, now in its 21st year; the International Jazz Festival, celebrating ten years; and the inaugural Travel Festival. Our readers have been offered free entry to the Travel Festival, worth £9 per ticket, using a special offer code on page 21. This is a great opportunity to meet travel experts, seek out potential holiday destinations for 2025 and enter your best photo into the World Travel Photography Awards.
