The busiest month for festivals here is November, counting each month an event runs in. Months for listings without confirmed dates come from the organiser's usual timing, so treat them as a guide.

What our Cambridge guide says about those seasons:

Spring (March to May)

Gärten wie der Botanic Garden und die College-Anlagen schlagen aus. Prüfen Sie den Zugang zu den Colleges in der Prüfungszeit.

Summer (June to August)

Lange Tage für die Backs, die Wiesen und den Fluss.

Autumn (September to November)

Schönes Licht auf Stein und Backstein, mit weniger Besuchern als im Sommer.

Winter (December to February)

Kurze Tage, doch Museen, College-Kapellen und Pubs bieten schöne Plätze drinnen. King's hält seinen Weihnachtsgottesdienst mit Chorälen am Heiligabend ab.
