Exploring Cambridge Market Square 

Dann and I did a little explore of Cambridge, where we wanted to have some slow mornings and some walking around afternoons enjoying the sunshine. On both of the days we were in Cambridge, we explored the Cambridge Market Square. This is a historical, outdoor market right in the centre of the area, with a bunch of different independent stall holders. It’s open every single day of the week, so we were excited to see if it changed and how the market held up.

Mix It Cocktail Making Class at the Cambridge Gin Laboratory

Dann and I had a little overnight in Cambridge, to pretend to be tourists in a new place, essentially. When walking around one of the streets in the sunshine, we stumbled upon the Cambridge Gin Laboratory, which had a bunch of events listed on their door. They seem to do a collection of things from making your own gin to the history of gin, to a gin cocktail class that we ended up attending called Mix It!

When somewhere says they have the greatest views of a city we are in, we have to take a look. I am not sure why, it’s just always something that we end up doing. So, when we saw a sign outside Great St. Mary’s Church saying it was the best view of Cambridge, we went in to climb the towers! Great St. Mary’s Church is also known as the University Church of Cambridge, built in 1209. The building was then rebuilt in the Perpendicular Gothic style between 1478 and 1608, with the university’s bells added to it.

Spooky Walk at Halloween at Wimpole

We have previously done a bunch of different seasonal activities at Wimpole Estate, so when I saw that they were doing Halloween at Wimpole, I really wanted to check it out. This is a light trail, basically that has more of a spooky theme and tons of different actors along the trail which did a good job of setting the spooky tone. It wasn’t horrifying, it’s completely family friendly, and our family really enjoyed it!
