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)

Les jardins, comme le Botanic Garden et les parcs des collèges, reverdissent. Vérifiez l’accès aux collèges en période d’examens.

Summer (June to August)

De longues journées pour profiter des Backs, des prairies et de la rivière.

Autumn (September to November)

Belle lumière sur la pierre et la brique, avec moins de visiteurs qu’en été.

Winter (December to February)

Journées courtes, mais musées, chapelles des colleges et pubs sont d'agréables options à l'abri. King's tient son service de chants de Noël le 24 décembre.
