The Cottenham Community Centre will be a hive of activity during the Festival!
"Come and have a Starbucks coffee and enjoy the art work at the Cottenham Community Centre (opposite the Co-Op) where you can become part of Africa and take part in the following activities: design an African mask to wear, build a pyramid, create a tambourine or help put together a map of the continent and many other things.
You can even help us to decorate a sculpture for the Fen Edge Festival competition. Come and enjoy!" - Sheila Gosling

Climb the All Saints Tower and ring the bell!
1.00 – 6.00 on Sunday
All Saints’ Church will have an ‘open church’ event, this is a rare opportunity to climb the tower – the highest point in the village and admire the view. See if you can spot your house! Why not try your hand at bell ringing or have a go at creating a flower arrangement to take home. For the adventurous, follow a trail around the church, and enter the ‘design your own gargoyle’ contest. Learn about the history of the Ely Diocese, celebrating 900 years this year or perhaps just enjoy a rest from all the Festival activity in the peace of this ancient building.
