During the bank holiday weekend, Waterbeach witnessed an explosion of colour and culture with events and activities to celebrate Easter and Holi.
With an Easter trail, a colour run and a range of crafts and activities, there was something for everyone to enjoy at the event.
The Easter Trail was open all weekend, with a question sheet available and the answers were scattered around the lake loop and woodland areas. A chocolate treat was waiting for those who successfully completed the trail.
On Sunday, March 31, Indian Community Waterbeach organised a colour run to celebrate Holi, the Hindu Festival of Colour.
More than 130 enthusiastic participants joined in the festivities which included Indian cuisine, a narration of the story of Holi by two Waterbeach Primary School children and craft stalls showcasing traditional arts and a performance from a local Indian dance group that turned into an impromptu warm-up for the runners.
Urban&Civic also hosted a special ‘meet your neighbours’ event for some of the area's first residents, giving them the chance to get to know each other as they explored the lake, played some games and enjoyed some Easter treats.
Fiona Reardon-Rose, communities and partnerships for Urban&Civic, said: “We had a wonderful bank holiday weekend, and it was great to see so many people come together to enjoy such diverse activities.
"The Easter trail and colour run provided a great opportunity to get people out and about, enjoying the community facilities and new spaces coming forward within the development.”
