7. Cambridge Folk Festival

The Buzz -- If you want to come to the Folk Festival in Cambridge, get tickets now! The event is renowned for being sold out long in advance - such is its amazing popularity. The festival takes place over three or four days at the end of July/beginning of August and sees top-name artists descending on the beautiful Cherry Hinton Hall and Grounds to strut their stuff on stage. The definition of 'folk' is wide, so don't worry if you're short-haired and wear the latest trends! You can also arrange to camp on-site.
