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.
