Did you know Cambridge was home to not just England’s but Europe’s biggest fair. For over 600 years from the early twentieth century ‘Stourbridge Fair’ was a gigantic event, eventually lasting over a month with barges being goods up the Cam from the Wash from across the continent. There’s more to Cambridge than it’s (brilliant!) University!!!

Stalls, crafts, dances and talks showcase the best bits of a bygone age.

The centuries old rivalry between Trinity College and St John's College was evident after end-of-term night climbers scaled the main gate of Trinity and placed a pink feather duster under the arm of Henry VIII! A St John's college scarf wrapped around the college founder's shoulders was left tauntingly to indicate the culprits' allegiance.

Trinity staff had to bring in some expert assistance in order to remove the unwanted items before too much face was lost :)

St John’s College has a long standing rivalry with its close neighbour Trinity College. The rivalry stems from Henry VIII (Trinity College’s founder) executing Saint John Fisher (the man responsible for the foundation of St. John’s). This rivalry has given rise to many legends – it is said that the eagle that adorns the entrance to New Court was sculpted so that it is deliberately looking away from their neighbour and rival.
