many more but this year be<br />
prepared for Mr Boombastic<br />

guarantee sunshine, they can certainly<br />
promise a great day filled with top-class music.<br />

be bringing lots of delicious independent food trucks as<br />

The Cambridge Club Festival<br />
Here’s another exciting new festival for Cambridge -<br />
The Cambridge Club. Also taking place at Haggis Farm,<br />
this is focused entirely upon offering good food, drink<br />
and music. An extensive range of local and national gin<br />
brands will be poured alongside champagne, local ciders<br />
and ales, and other premium spirits. When it comes to<br />
food, they’re putting on a real banquet with the help of<br />
local independent food traders such as Fired Up Pizza,<br />
Great British Sausage Co and Churros. Music wise, Craig<br />
Charles Funk & Soul Club will be headlining and there will<br />
be 3 stages housing over 20 acts offering almost every<br />

disco classics.<br />
