IT MAY BE GETTING COLDER, BUT THE CITY IS ONLY HOTTING UP – ADD THESE ESSENTIAL EVENTS TO YOUR CALENDAR
SIGN UP FOR THE HALF MARATHON! Cambridge Edition is a proud media partner for the 2023 TTP Cambridge Half Marathon, a mass 21.1k (or 13.1 mile) running race through the city’s most impressive sights! Attracting 15,000 runners and thousands more spectators, this hallowed event is known for its fantastic atmosphere and picturesque course, which also happens to be incredibly flat – hello PB! “We are really excited for this year’s race, which will again be in its normal slot on Sunday 5 March. Entry is now open and it’s proving to be another extremely popular event,” comments race director Adam Moffat. “I encourage everyone to sign up while they can for what will be another memorable event around Cambridge’s most iconic landmarks.” Now’s the time to book your place and start planning your training – places are £46 per person. Stay tuned to Cambridge Edition , where we’ll be bringing you exclusive giveaways, expert advice, news and lots more about the event over the coming months.
From Alex Ruczaj, founder of the Early Night Club – the much-loved ‘sensible clubbing’ night at La Raza – comes Provenance Kitchen Disco, a brand-new series of events. Taking the ‘dance your heart out, but get to bed at a decent hour’ philosophy of ENC, this new party launched in September, bringing together fabulous food, firepits, great tunes, disco balls and dancing. “We even did a conga at one point on the first night!” recalls Alex. “It was a real sense of release. There is so much space up there for people to dance and let loose. We have our glitter team on hand as well, to bring a festival feel.” Upcoming dates for your diary are a Bonfire Night special at Provenance’s Orchard Barn (Whittlesford), and a return to La Raza on 1 December. DANCE LIKE NOBODY’S WATCHING

See the fireworks! The city’s biggest and best Bonfire Night celebration returns to Midsummer Common on 5 November, complete with huge fireworks display, funfair and food vendors. Free to attend as always, the event is organised by Cambridge City Council, kicking off at 7pm, and will be compèred by BBC Radio Cambridgeshire’s Jeremy Sallis. “Cambridge’s Bonfire Night and fireworks is such a well-loved tradition,” says the city council’s deputy leader and executive councillor for open spaces, food justice and community development, Alex Collis. “It has always been a night full of excitement, when families and friends converge on historic Midsummer Common to enjoy the dazzling spectacle of this magical display. With everyone facing the cost-of-living crisis, we understand more than ever the importance of free community events.”
