STARTERS
The most glorious way to wind down at the end of the working week, the Gog Sundowner Sessions begin for the season this month, taking place every Friday and Saturday night between 13 July and 21 September. A chilled-out, summery affair, guests can relax in the beautiful rural setting, sip on craft beer and prosecco, and of course – catch a famous Gog sunset. Throughout the season, there will be a line-up of local DJs and musicians, with plans for a Sundowner Unplugged open mic-style event, too. There will also be all kinds of delicious food, plus the popular silent disco will be in situ for the opening and closing events: get ready to dance like nobody’s watching! Another one to keep an eye out for this summer is the Gog Centenary Family Picnic on 31 September, which promises a village fete-style day of merriment for the family. thegog.com THE GOG SUNDOWNER SESSIONS
CASTLE HILL OPEN DAY
From exploring a nuclear bunker to feasting at a pop-up vegan cafe, there’s something for everyone at the Castle Hill Open Day on 13 July. It’s a chance to explore one of the oldest and most vibrant corners of the city, as venues across the area open for free, and host special activities. Visitors can enjoy a tour of the New Hall Art Collection, join in with walking tours, select herbs and make tea in the Murray Edwards Garden, get creative at an art workshop at Kettle’s Yard and learn about history at Histon Road Cemetery. You can also get the best view of Cambridge from Castle Mound, plus tuck into delicious eats at the pop-up food stations, or bring along a picnic if you prefer. Families can also enjoy the Museum of Mysteries trail at The Museum of Cambridge, and make magnets and discover secret symbols in and around St Peter’s Church. The event runs 12pm to 5pm and is free to attend. kettlesyard.co.uk
