Eastlife Summer 2020 (Web)
Dear Reader, I wanted to let you know as a team here at Eastlife, we’ve been working hard during these uncertain times. We are lucky enough to be able to work from home on our laptops and are passionate about being your guide to the East. Therefore, after much discussion we decided to proceed with our summer issue. Though circumstances are uncertain at the time of print as COVID-19 hurls towards its peak, the articles in this magazine are there to offer some light relief and distraction. The articles aim to inspire you for happier times ahead. Just know that we will travel again, we’ll dance at festivals and concerts, we’ll dine out with friends and our glorious coastline will be waiting for us when this is over. As an independent publishing company, we rely on our wonderful advertisers to create a great read and we continue to support them through this difficult time. We’ll continue posting online at www.eastlife.co.uk and you can follow us on our social media platforms for relevant content during this time. Stay home, stay safe and we’ll see you on the other side!

Celebrate
the Fens Day
Article courtesy of Fascinating Fens | www.fascinatingfens.com
The first ever ‘Celebrate the Fens Day’ will be taking place on
20 June this year. The concept was created when the Twitter
account, Fascinating Fens asked its followers, what they thought
of having such a day. The overwhelming response was “yes”! The
idea for the day has gathered great momentum and aims to unite
the Fens of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Lincolnshire and Suffolk, and
bring people together to celebrate everything that the Fens has
to offer.
Fascinating Fens believes in encouraging people to explore and
promote the area through creativity, heritage, nature, wellbeing
and accessibility. The Fens are inspiring, beautiful, mysterious and
fascinating.
Fascinating Fens are asking you to do your thing on the day.
Examples can include delivering and attending a talk or tour,
holding or visiting an open day, having a picnic, trying camping,
being inspired to write a poem or story in the Fens, finding a nature
trail, drawing a picture, rambling, running or cycling.
The organised events confirmed so far include a family craft event
on the theme of nature at Wisbech Museum, an open day at
Elgood’s Brewery Wisbech (and brewery tour with beer tasting)
and an open day at Crowland Abbey including tours, trails and bell
ringing (the Crowland event will be on Sunday 21 June).
The Cambridge Open Studio will be holding a pop-up gallery at
Wicken Fen and the Babylon Art Gallery in Ely will be holding a
photograph exhibition called ‘Capturing the Fens’, which will be
welcoming amateurs and professionals to submit photographs.
There are likely to be smaller events in the run up to the day to
allow people to get involved as much as possible.
You can share your photographs on the day, showing what you
feel should be celebrated in the Fens. Post on social media using
the #CelebrateTheFens for a chance to be shared.
