s well as all the usual Cambridge summer staples to relish (lido trips, sunny afternoons at Grantchester Meadows, Pimm’s-fuelled punting, hazy evenings at the Mill Pond, to name a few), the local events calendar goes into overdrive at this time of year, offering up all kinds of delightful open-air events to help us make the most of those precious
weeks of high summer. Pack up your picnic blanket and a bottle of something sparkling and head to one of the many alfresco concerts, theatre shows and cinema screenings which are coming up: we’ve rounded up the best of the bunch over on page 17. From Shakespeare in college gardens to a film festival on the River Cam, there’s plenty to tempt. We’re also looking forward to Cambridge Open Studios in this issue, an event that sees artists around the county welcoming the public into their homes and workspaces. We spoke to some of the artists involved on page 32. Also coming up this month, after a hiatus of a couple of years, is Independents’ Week: a city-wide celebration of our local independent businesses. For punters, it’s a chance not only to explore the many great indie shops and eateries the city has to offer, but also take advantage of all sorts of special offers and events. Get the lowdown on page 78. Our resident food historian Dr Sue Bailey heads off on another foodie flight of fancy in the latest in her Cambridge on a Plate series, which is rapidly becoming one of my favourite monthly columns. From the city’s ‘sticky bun wars’ to the ancient Greeks’ passion for biscuits, it is, as always, illuminating and hunger inducing. Have a read on page 74. Local author Beth Lynch’s beautiful nature writing is in the spotlight in this month’s Edition Book Club (page 23), in which she discusses Where The Hornbeam Grows – and if that doesn’t get you inspired to preen your garden for summer, Anna’s lyrical descriptions of the comings and goings at her Audley End flower farm (page 93) are sure to.
