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

For over 30 years the village of Ashton, near Peterborough, has hosted these conker (the nut from the horse chestnut tree) championships with men, women, children and teams battling it out. The organisers claim that people travel from overseas to take part! The event is held the second Sunday in October in this town about 30 miles (50km) north-west of Cambridge. Each "conker bonker" is provided with conkers at the championship to prevent cheating. Free admission. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |
