Cocktails at the festival

Drink was part of Eat Cambridge from early on, and the cocktail events were among the fringe's more popular fixtures. Bars ran tutored tastings and one-off menus, and in at least one year a cocktail bar operated as a pop-up in a venue that was not its own.

The drinks programme drew on what the city already had: an established independent wine trade, a local gin-distilling scene that grew through the 2010s, and a pub stock going back centuries.

A record of the drinks half of the programme, which had its own audience.
