WELCOME
We’re 12!
elcome to our April issue – a bit of a special one, since it marks our 12th birthday! So firstly, let me say a big thank you to all our readers and advertisers for allowing us to keep doing what we’re doing; we really wouldn’t be here without you. On the cover for the first time is one of Cambridge’s most beautiful new landmarks, Cambridge Central Mosque on Mill Road. Unveiled in 2019, this iconic building is not just amazing to look at, with its intricate, vaulted woodwork and a magnificent golden dome, it’s also a model of sustainability: described as ‘Europe’s first eco-friendly mosque’. If you haven’t already, I recommend taking the time to go and have a look. On the pages ahead, you’ll find inspiration for April and beyond, from a round-up of truly incredible glamping and outdoorsy getaways (page 61) to news on this year’s Sound + Vision festival (page 21). We also get the lowdown on I’m Here, Where Are You?, an arts extravaganza dedicated to giving disabled creatives the spotlight that’s heading our way this month. Hear from festival co-founder Linda Rocco on page 18. Elsewhere, there’s ideas for Easter days out (plus Fitzbillies’ recipe for perfect hot cross buns!), the best new books, theatre highlights and a bumper guide to the summer’s fantastic music festivals. Enjoy the issue and see you next month!
