Evensong during Easter Term at Kings College Chapel
This is the most special thing that anyone can do when they visit Cambridge. Allowing the public to enjoy Evensong is an incredibly generous gift by the college and it must be appreciated as a privilege. There are lots of things to do in Cambridge but this should be at the top of anyone’s list. Soak up the voices of the choir under the vaulted ceiling of Kings College Chapel. Bask in the splendour and the majesty of this remarkable chapel and it’s talented members of the college.
As a visitor we recommend that you arrive at 4:55pm at the front entrance to the college on Kings Parade and then you will be at the front of the queue that will form behind you. 5pm they will let you into the college and make your way to the south door. 5:15pm you will be allowed into the chapel and be directed to a seat. 5:30pm Evensong will start.
There is no need to sing or pray but stand up when everyone else stands up and sit down when everyone else sits down.
Be respectful by dressing appropriately, not talking and not taking photographs.

English Touring Opera (ETO) present new productions of Puccini’s Manon Lescaut and Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress for its Spring 2024 tour. The season explores the temptations and pitfalls of the big city, both in the larger-scale productions and their new opera for children, The Great Stink. Continuing ETO’s mission to make exceptional artistic experiences available to all, the tour brings outstanding live productions and impactful education and community projects to more than 20 towns and cities across the country.
Book Your tickets here; https://englishtouringopera.org.uk/venues/cambridge-arts-theatre
The tour opens with a radical, dreamlike interpretation of Manon Lescaut, a devastating depiction of a woman wrestling with her desire for love on her own terms, and the double standards imposed on her by society. Packed with memorable music and heartbreaking drama, this new production presents a unique modern take on one of Puccini’s most loved operas. The production is directed by
Jude Christian – recently acclaimed for her “brilliantly provocative” (The Guardian) Titus Andronicus at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse – who also brings her sharp, punchy new English translation to the piece. Gerry Cornelius, ETO’s Music Director, conducts. Soprano Jenny Stafford, whose previous roles for English Touring Opera include Despina in Così fan tutte, Melissa in Amadigi, Mimì in La bohème and soloist in their staging of St John Passion, sings the title role for the first time, with Gareth Morris as Des Grieux, Aidan Edwards as Lescaut and Edward Hawkins as Geronte.
The tour also includes a new production of Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress, charting young Tom Rakewell’s journey from unexpected inheritance to ruin – an initially cynical tale which develops into one of redemption and humanity. Polly Graham, Artistic Director of Longborough Festival Opera, directs this multilayered production, and musical polymath Jack Sheen, who recently conducted Last Days at the Royal Opera House, conducts. Tenor Frederick Jones sings the role of Tom Rakewell, a role he has performed before to critical acclaim – Bachtrack stated that he “seemed born to sing Rakewell, so far did his fine singing and acting make it difficult to recall a more persuasive interpretation”. Nazan Fikret, fresh from performing Clorinda in ETO’s 2023 production of Cinderella, stars as Anne Trulove, with Jerome Knox as Nick Shadow and Lauren Young as Baba.
ETO’s Learning and Participation programme is central to the company’s mission and reaches over 10,000 people each year through productions in theatres, schools, museums and libraries. This continues in the Spring 2024 with The Great Stink, the second in ETO’s trilogy of operas for children exploring climate change and the environment. Set against the backdrop of the Great Stink of 1858 – when the Thames was so polluted that London was covered in a foul fog – this fun-filled family opera is brought to life with singers, musicians and puppets as well as interactive moments where children will get to meet Queen Victoria, Prime Minister Disraeli and even the Thames herself. Written by Hannah Khalil and composed by Omar Shahryar, the opera will tour to theatres, libraries and museums across the country.
Robin Norton-Hale, ETO’s General Director, said: “With their themes of the importance of love and human connection over greed and isolation, Manon Lescaut and The Rake’s Progress – and The Great Stink too – have a great deal to say about how we live in an increasingly divided world. The three operas showcase a variety of musical styles, and I’m delighted that we have assembled such exciting creative teams to respond to these brilliant composers with different – and thrilling – approaches to design and staging. At ETO we strive to bring the best in opera to audiences up and down the country, and this season should have something for everyone; romance, modernism, puppetry, poetry – and of course excellent music-making”.
Audiences will also be able to experience insights into the world of opera with ETO Unboxed, a programme of live and digital events exploring the multi-disciplinary and multi-genre nature of opera covering music, theatre, design, language, movement and more. ETO Unboxed events will focus on the themes of the temptations of the big city, with more details to be announced soon.
Later in the year, ETO and Britten Pears Arts co-produce Judith Weir’s Blond Eckbert, a dark fairy tale of isolation, guilt and despair in a new production directed by Robin Norton-Hale and conducted by Gerry Cornelius. The production will open the Aldeburgh Festival on 7 June, with cast to be announced soon.
The spring tour opens at London’s Hackney Empire with Manon Lescaut on 24 February and The Rake’s Progress on 2 March before both shows are toured across England until the end of May. More information and tickets can be found on the English Touring Opera website. https://englishtouringopera.org.uk/

The 51st Cambridge Beer Festival – Jesus Green – 20th May to 25th May 2024
This festival started in 1974 when there was a real danger of pubs being taken over by breweries and CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) came in to save the day.
Today there are hundreds of real ales, ciders, meads and perrys’ to sample in what has become the second largest beer festival in the UK after the one in Olympia.
You can’t miss the massive marquee in Jesus Green, which has become a symbol of the coming summer.
Along with all the beverages you can also find a cheese counter indoors and lots of food trucks outside.
We all like to pray for good weather but you can rub along together indoors should the rain come.
Our top tip is to avoid the queues and become a CAMRA member for £20. It means you get in for free but also support the work that CAMRA does in the UK.
You will need £2 to buy a pint glass, which is redeemable at the end but we like to collect them.
Monday has a short window where it’s open to tradespeople but then the doors open to the public for the rest of the week.
It closes 3pm to 5pm each day so plan your visit. Opening hours:-
20-25 May | 12pm – 3pm | 3pm – 5pm | 5pm – 10.30pm |
---|---|---|---|
Monday 20th | Closed | Closed | £5 |
Tuesday 21st | Free | Closed | £5 |
Wednesday 22nd | Free | Closed | £5 |
Thursday 23rd | Free | Closed | £6 |
Friday 24th | Free | Closed | £6 |
Saturday 25th | £4 – we’re open 12pm – 10.30pm | ||
Last admission is 30 minutes before closing |
There are lots of international beers and beverages from far and wide but we suggest you support out local breweries.
We recommend trying THE CAMBRIDGE CIDER COMPANY in the cider section. https://www.thecambridgecidercompany.co.uk/
There are a few local brewery’s to sample including Calverley’s, which is run by two brother’s Sam and Tom. https://www.calverleys.com/
You might also like to find Milton Brewery run by the local character by the name of Beard (for obvious reasons). https://www.miltonbrewery.co.uk/
Drink responsibly and have a great time!

Robbie Burns Night – eat haggis!
Contrary to popular belief a haggis is not a wee furry creature that lives in the highlands of Scotland but actually a traditional cuisine from Scotland made from offal.
Burns night is a special event for Scottish people as they celebrate the bard’s birthday by traditionally having a big supper and enjoying haggis whilst reciting the famous poem by Robert Burns called Address To The Haggis (see below)
If you are looking for an excellent restaurant that has haggis on the menu try The Cambridge Chop House restaurant at No.1 Kings Parade
If you are looking for somewhere to buy a traditional haggis head to Cousins Butchers in Newnham. https://www.cambridgebutchers.com/haggis-burns-night-supper
Address to a Haggis Translation
Good luck to you and your honest, plump face,
Great chieftain of the sausage race!
Above them all you take your place,
Stomach, tripe, or intestines:
Well are you worthy of a grace
As long as my arm.
The groaning trencher there you fill,
Your buttocks like a distant hill,
Your pin would help to mend a mill
In time of need,
While through your pores the dews distill
Like amber bead.
His knife see rustic Labour wipe,
And cut you up with ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like any ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm steaming, rich!
Then spoon for spoon, the stretch and strive:
Devil take the hindmost, on they drive,
Till all their well swollen bellies by-and-by
Are bent like drums;
Then old head of the table, most like to burst,
‘The grace!’ hums.
Is there that over his French ragout,
Or olio that would sicken a sow,
Or fricassee would make her vomit
With perfect disgust,
Looks down with sneering, scornful view
On such a dinner?
Poor devil! see him over his trash,
As feeble as a withered rush,
His thin legs a good whip-lash,
His fist a nut;
Through bloody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit.
But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his ample fist a blade,
He’ll make it whistle;
And legs, and arms, and heads will cut off
Like the heads of thistles.
You powers, who make mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill of fare,
Old Scotland wants no watery stuff,
That splashes in small wooden dishes;
But if you wish her grateful prayer,
Give her [Scotland] a Haggis!
