From the middle of Cambridge into deep space, the centrepiece of this year’s Strawberry Fair has been revealed – and it promises to be out of this world!

This much-loved community festival, which is returning to Cambridge’s Midsummer Common after a year’s absence, is on 6 June. In addition to the annual festival parade, multiple stages of live music and performance, hands-on workshops, craft stalls and a wide array of food and drink vendors, a new attraction is at the heart of the celebration.
A recreation of a stone circle will be installed at the centre of the site, providing an opportunity for tranquillity and reflection among the excitement of the fair.
Designed by Silas and Daisy Rayner, founders of Suffolk’s Maui Waui Festival, it includes nine standing stones, arranged in a perfect formation – which may even entice some visitors from another planet – in line with this year’s Area 51 theme, to celebrate the long-standing festival’s 51st year!
