There’s always a lot of love in Cambridge for the Mill Road Winter Fair, which takes place in December and showcases the finest food, drink and festivities offered by Cambridge’s most dynamic street.
One huge street party, it’s a fantastic celebration of the diversity of life in Cambridge; East Anglia’s answer to Notting Hill Carnival, if you like. So we were delighted to hear that another similar event is planned for the summer, promising excellent food and drink, visual spectacles and entertainment and more – the perfect way to spend a midsummer’s evening.
The first ever Mill Road Midsummer Night Market will take place on 18 July, 5-10pm. It will start with an evening feast at Gwydir Street car park, where you’ll find street food from Cambridge favourites like GoGo Gogi Gui, Fired Up Pizza, Goulash Valley, Steak & Honour, Gourmet Brownie Co and a bar too, including tipples from our local Moonshine Brewery. Next, browse the vintage and alternative clothing market at Bharat Bhavan and give your summer wardrobe a little lift.
There’ll be an arts and craft market at Mill Road Baptist Church, with an array of beautiful things to buy from Cambridge’s talented artists, crafters and makers, plus music and dance from a range of performers at Argyle Street Co-op car park. Expect lots more surprises, from film screenings to picnics and loads of other pop-up events.
According to the organisers: “The Mill Road Winter Fair is a hugely successful celebration of the community in this vibrant part of Cambridge. We think Mill Road is so awesome it deserves two annual parties!” The event is free to attend; just turn up, fill up and enjoy.
