All About Spring in Cambridge

But what can you do this time of year? We have compiled a list of things to do in Cambridge, and in the local area, during spring and Easter.

Anglesey Abbey

During springtime, daffodils start to flourish throughout Anglesey Abbey and their gardens begin to grow. In their formal and winter garden, tulips are undeniably centre stage! This year, why not take part in the easter egg hunt? With an admission fee of £3.50 – what’s not to love?

 

Cambridge Botanic Gardens

There’s no place better to experience spring in full bloom than at the Cambridge Botanic Gardens.

If the emergence of spring flowers is one of your favourite things about the season, then this is the day out for you! The Cambridge Botanic Gardens are world-class specialists – and it shows. A visit to Cambridge Botanic Gardens is a step into the season itself, an admission to spring heaven!

Whether it’s a romantic stroll, a family outing, a wholesome day out with friends, or a solo adventure, this is the place to be. Treat your eyes to the dazzling sea of petals. Treat your nose to the tempting natural fragrances dancing in the breeze.

Lambing Season at Wimpole

Springtime means one thing—lambing season is here! At Wimpole Estate, this special time of year welcomes adorable newborn lambs, filling the pens and paddocks with energy and excitement. A visit to the estate gives you the chance to witness these little ones take their very first steps, a heartwarming sight that captures the magic of new life. With every bleat and bounce, the lambs bring joy to visitors of all ages. Whether you’re looking to snap the perfect springtime photo or simply enjoy a wholesome day out, this season of new beginnings is an experience the whole family will love!

What could be more wholesome? I challenge you to think of something sweeter!

Theatre, Music and more

There is also an array of theatre productions and events occurring throughout spring. Cambridge is a great place to watch a show, music act, or if you fancy something funny, a stand up might be something you are looking for this easter. 

Punting in Cambridge

But of course, one of the top things to do this Spring is punting in Cambridge. The change of season is altering the river once again, giving it a new feeling and atmosphere. It is enchanting to see the changes in the scenery. The architecture and gardens lining the River Cam are blossoming with new surprises. One of the benefits of taking a chauffeured tour in springtime is, of course, the warmer weather, and also the quietness of the river. The summer hustle and bustle has not yet begun and the river certainly feels more tranquil this time of year. 

What’s more? Tours run later and later into the evening. So! gather your friends and family on book on of our private chauffeured tours to experience punting this Easter.
