Look after your health and wellbeing<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All that eating and drinking is great but it also reminds us that we need to maintain our health and wellbeing. The good thing is our city centre gyms are now open.<\/p>\n

You can choose from Puregym<\/a> at The Grafton Centre, with memberships from \u00a322.99 and no contract,\u00a0Glassworks<\/a> at Thompsons Lane which has a lovely gym and spa and beauty experience and\u00a0F45<\/a>\u00a0in the station area at No 50\/60 Station Road is also open. For indoor swimming, both Parkside<\/a> and Abbey pools<\/a> are also now available.<\/p>\n

Go to the cinema<\/h2>\n

If you fancy a more sedentary leisure pastime, then we all love the cinema.\u00a0The Arts Picturehouse<\/a> on St Andrew\u2019s Street is now fully open, and currently showing a wide range of films.\u00a0Back at The Grafton centre, the Vue Cinema<\/a> is also now open, with their very wide and comfortable airline-style seats.<\/p>\n

Enjoy Cambridge\u2019s open spaces<\/h2>\n

For a more contemplative recharge then Cambridge has many beautiful green spaces to enjoy – Parker\u2019s Piece, Jesus Green, Midsummer Common and Lammas Land to name but a few.<\/p>\n

The University of Cambridge Botanic Garden is also open. Bookings are required at botanic.cam.ac.uk <\/a>.<\/p>\n

Check out these new places<\/h2>\n

While it has been a challenging time for the high street, Cambridge has no shortage of new places opening.<\/p>\n

The new Town and Gown Pub and Theatr<\/a>e is now open in Market Passage. This is a revival of the former Cosmopolitan Theatre that opened here in 1933.<\/p>\n

Rose Crescent has the new Laser Clinics offering all types of treatments including 30 per cent off hair removal.<\/p>\n

At 16 Rose Crescent, to complete the eclectic mix on this lovely old street, we have the fantastic new vintage and retro boutique Fantasia now open. They have been trading well on Mill Road for a number of years and we wish them well in their new home.<\/p>\n

Ecco Shoes has also recently opened on Sussex Street into the previous Costa Coffee unit. Jacks Gelato has expanded to a second place in All Saints Passage and, as a result of the \u2018Grow at the Grafton\u2019 scheme, Little Roos is now open. This is a family run business selling clothing, footwear and accessories for children from birth to 12 years old.<\/p>\n

Watch live sport<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since you can\u2019t attend everything in person, why not hook up with a bunch of friends and go to a bar to watch the sport?\u00a0There are heaps of venues to chose from:<\/p>\n

The Tour De France is on all week. Do you remember July 7, 2014, when stage 3 started in Cambridge?<\/p>\n

The football season starts this weekend with Cambridge United hosting Carlisle and the Premier League fixtures include newly promoted Leeds travelling to Champions Liverpool. The US Open tennis championship draws to a climax this weekend, Formula 1 comes from Tuscany and on September 11, 13 and 16, the continuation of 140 years of cricketing rivalry can be enjoyed as England play Australia in three one-day games.<\/p>\n

Cambridge has some great venues to watch sport, including the Champion of The Thames, The King Street Run and The Cambridge Brewhouse all on King Street, The Alma on Russell Street, WT\u2019s sports bar on Burleigh Street and The Grain and Hop Store on Regent Street. Don\u2019t forget – know before you go and book ahead.<\/p>\n

Travel tips for your trip<\/h2>\n

The city has been making improvements since the lockdown was eased, giving pedestrians more space and making it easier and more relaxing to navigate the streets.<\/p>\n

Drive into Cambridge and you will pay \u00a31 an hour to park all day , every day, so why not bring the family and take your time to enjoy our beautiful city, knowing your parking fee will be great value? If you have a Blue Badge, then you can park for free for up to three hours in all the city multi-storey car parks.<\/p>\n

In all the surface-level car parks, such as Adam and Eve, Riverside and Castle Hill, parking is free after 7pm from Mondays to Saturdays, and after 5pm on Sundays.<\/p>\n

If you are taking the bus, then the city has five Park & Rides <\/a>open that allow you to park for free for up to 18 hours. The bus fare into the city centre starts at \u00a33 with up to three children riding for free.<\/p>\n

Stagecoach, which operates the buses around Cambridge, also has a handy app with its \u2018How busy is my bus?\u2019 function. This gives passengers all the latest information and the confidence to board.<\/p>\n

Cambridge is, of course, a great cycling city. Many villages are connected to the city by cycle paths and in the city many streets have separate cycle lanes. There is also ample parking for bikes of all sizes.<\/p>\n
