The Cambridge Folk Festival began in 1964 and is still going strong, drawing tens of thousands of visitors each year.

The Cambridge Food and Drink Festival is much more than just food and wine. Talks on health food and growing your own veggies, cooking demonstrations, cuisines from around the world, and special restaurant events are part of the lineup. What's more? Wine tasting and subsequent auctions of the same are promised. After two years of sucess, the festival is even more raring to go - it's sure to leave you asking for more!

Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols


Traditional Christmas service at King's College Chapel
King's College Chapel
(King's College)
Cambridge CB2 1ST
United Kingdom
+44 1223 33 1155
http://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/cha...
Traditionally broadcast on BBC television and radio on Christmas Eve, King's College Chapel's world-famous choir celebrates Jesus Christ's nativity with the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, a traditional narration of the Christmas story in word and song. The service begins at 3p, with entry to the chapel from around 1:30p. However, the popularity of the service means that a queue forms by 8a on Christmas Eve, snaking around the courts of King's College. To have a chance of entry, visitors need to be in the queue before 10:30a. Not suitable for small children; free admission.

Fireworks Display (Guy Fawkes Night)


Whizzes and bangs
Midsummer Common
Cambridge CB5 8DR
United Kingdom
+44 1223 45 7521
'Remember, remember, the fifth of November...' Cambridge celebrates this national event, Guy Fawkes' Night, commemorating the infamous attempt by the Catholic plotter Guy Fawkes to blow up the Parliament during times of lesser religious tolerance by the Protestant ruling class and king. An impressive fireworks display and bonfire is held annually on Midsummer Common. Throngs of people brave the cold and mud to watch the city council send off an impressive variety of fireworks and light up a bonfire on top of which burns an effigy of Guy Fawkes.

King John granted a charter for the Midsummer Fair back in 1211, though it now exists solely as a funfair. The Mayor of Cambridge still proclaims it open by throwing coins to assembled children. You'll find all your favourite rides here: dodgems, the pirate ship and the ghost train, as well as all the traditional food stalls candyfloss, hot dogs and toffee apples. Free admission.
