F EST I VALS
IN THE CLUB THE CAMBRIDGE CLUB 16 JUNE The Cambridge Club is back on Father’s Day this year for another one-day festival – and this year it’s doubling in size, with 10,000 people set to descend on Haggis Farm for a celebration of music, food, fun and sunshine. Established two years ago, the festival is back with a bang with a fantastic line-up for 2019. Last year’s event saw the fabulous Gabrielle grace the main stage at Haggis Farm, and Trevor Nelson kept the crowd swinging until sunset. This year promises to be even more spectacular, with the one and only Sister Sledge headlining, and Craig Charles making a triumphant return with his Funk & Soul Club. Other musical acts include Uncle Funk & The Boogie Wonderband, and The Voice finalist Michelle John. The festival is organised by the team behind the hugely successful Strawberries & Creem, but this one-day festival has a very different vibe, aiming itself squarely at family fun. Alongside all the music, food and booze, there’s a diverse programme of children’s entertainment, including circus skills, arts and crafts, and storytelling. It’s a brilliant way to introduce kids to festival fun while fantastic acts – along with local artisan gins, prosecco, craft ale, ciders and a food menu covering everything from jerk chicken to vegan offerings – will ensure the adults have a fab day out, too. thecambridgeclub.co Haggis Farm, Cambridge: ten minutes from the city centre
READY TO ROCK? CAMBRIDGE ROCK FESTIVAL 25-28 JULY Cambridge Rock Festival started life as the Rockinbeerfest, and has a reputation for bringing nationally and internationally acclaimed rock acts to Cambridge to perform alongside up-and-comers and local bands. Now in its 15th year, 2019 sees 50 acts descend on Haggis Farm to perform across two tents, called Ruby and Sapphire. The line-up this year includes Don Airey & Friends, Cats in Space, Winter in Eden and Atomic Rooster, and visitors will get the chance to sample over 100 different real ales – hopefully not all at once – although other drinks are available! cambridgerockfestival.co.uk Haggis Farm, Cambridge: ten minutes from city centre
