sign of slowing down its social calendar. This year<br />
the city has many great reasons to visit. Its shopping<br />
centres, dining scene and magnificent cathedral may<br />

great excuse for planning a weekend away - or an<br />
added bonus to an existing break. Peterborough has<br />
events taking place throughout the year so there’s<br />
never a dull moment. Get your diary ready and plan<br />
your next trip with one of these fun-filled days out:<br />
