Starting on the first weekend with the Thirsty Biergarten, Arm Code Club Workshops, and the Duck Race. Then lots of events going on through the week including the Wildlife Trust Bat Walk, Local History Society talk, Quiz Night, Cherry Hinton Community Choir and much more. And finally Festival Day on the Recreation Ground finished off our week long community celebration. Thank you to everyone who took part in the events, we hope you had as much fun as we did! Enjoy this selection of photos from Festival Week (a big thank you to Silvana for being our official Festival photographer). Please click on the first image of each gallery to see a slide show.
