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! Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Ancient farmers' rite |

A real oddity of local tradition, the Whittlesey Straw Bear Festival is a revival of an ancient farming rite which takes place in early January. A ploughman is dressed up in straw (the straw bear) and leads a procession of dancers and folk musicians through the village. The week leading up to the procession is marked by concerts and a ceilidh, and the Saturday procession sees all the village pubs packed out, with Morris dancers performing at each one. In the evening there are barn dances and ceilidhs, and on the Sunday the straw bear is burnt. Review © 2007, Wcities |
