ur great expectations for the summer of 2021 may have been dashed by creeping Covid-19 cases and endlessly grey weather, but don’t fret – the arrival of autumn brings much to look forward to here in Cambridge. The joyful spectacle of the Half Marathon returns, bringing its throngs of sweaty, smiley runners (including me!), enthusiastic cheerers and general community spirit on 17 October, while the city’s cultural hotspots are gearing up for a packed few months of theatre and exhibitions. Sadly, one of our favourite events, the Mill Road Winter Fair, won’t go ahead as usual this year – but the good news is that the organisers are planning a series of scaled-down celebrations across October, November and December. Get the details on page 19. In this month’s Sip & Savour, man of the hour AdamWood – head chef at the much-hyped Garden House – shares some incredible recipes, while Vanderlyle drinks doyen Sam Adams gets creative with non-alcoholic tipples in honour of Sober October. If you want to hunker down with a good read this autumn, make your way to page 23, where Charlotte Griffiths has been thumbing her way through the latest literary releases to recommend the best new books. We’ve also got gigs, garden tips and much more besides – enjoy the issue and see you next month!
