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)

Giardini come il Botanic Garden e gli spazi dei college rinverdiscono. Si controlli l'accesso ai college nel periodo degli esami.

Summer (June to August)

Giornate lunghe per the Backs, i prati e il fiume.

Autumn (September to November)

Bella luce sulla pietra e sui mattoni, con meno visitatori che in estate.

Winter (December to February)

Giornate corte, ma musei, cappelle dei college e pub offrono ottime alternative al coperto. King's tiene il suo carol service la vigilia di Natale.
