Explore - We are keen for residents to explore and reconnect with their city, to discover parts they have not been to, or visited for a while.
Cherish - We want everyone to appriciate and cherish Cambridge, to feel a pride in the great offer we have and support our high street.
Stay - We want to increase the dwell time of people in the city centre and encourage them stay for longer so they get a greater experience of where they live or when they visit.

The evening is a great opportunity to hear about the work we have carried out over the year, our plans for 2019/2020 and Term 2. We will have a couple of Keynote Speakers followed by a panel discussion.
Whilst Cambridge regularly features at the top of ‘vibrant UK cities’ lists, times continue to be challenging for the high street and business in general. We need to be intentional about investing in initiatives that actively support local businesses, while creating a welcoming environment and world-class experience for all.
