5. Shakespeare Festival

The Buzz -- Culture vultures flock to Cambridge for its annual Shakespeare Festival, which sees top-class outdoor performances of the best of Shakespeare's plays being put on in University College gardens throughout the city. The plays are performed by professional actors in full period costume with live music, and the moonlight is better than any theatre stage lighting! Keep your fingers crossed for good weather and make sure you take along a bottle of wine and a picnic for the perfect summer evening....or night's dream.
