A warm welcome to our June issue. As we greet a new season, Cambridge bursts into colour – not least thanks to the return of one of its most anticipated annual events. On Saturday 15 June, Cambridge Pride graces Jesus Green once again, providing a joyous, safe space that celebrates inclusivity and representation. If you are looking for a slightly quieter, yet equally entertaining way to dive deeper into Pride Month, the LGBTQ+ tours provided by the Museum of Classical Archaeology are the place to start. Find out more as we explore how the ancient world can inform gender and sexuality today with curator Dr Susanne Turner on page 10. If you want to learn more about Cambridge’s queer past, then check out our interview with Dr Diarmuid Hester on page 14 – and settle in for some quality reads as our resident bookworm Charlotte Griffiths reviews top LGBTQ+ fiction. With Father’s Day approaching on 16 June, we’ve got you covered with a major giveaway up for grabs and, if you fancy spoiling dad with a top lunch, a recipe for the ultimate steak sarnie from award-winning writer Tim Hayward. We also take this time to honour the extraordinary story of three
fathers-turned-changemakers before they visit Ely Cathedral to promote their inspiring book Three Dads Walking: 300 Miles of Hope . Finally, whet your appetite with our summer dining guide and tuck into Cambridge’s hottest new opening, as we speak with the duo behind Dishoom about their latest offering: Permit Room. As always, thank you for reading and we hope you enjoy!
