In Pictures: Thousands attend Area 51-themed festival

Thousands of people gathered on Midsummer Common in Cambridge on Saturday for Strawberry Fair.

The festival started with a parade followed by a day of events, including live music, poetry and skateboarding.

This year, to coincide with its 51st year, it had Area 51 as its theme and the main stage, Rebel Love, had a tin UFO as its DJ booth.

"It has been challenging as it's been raining and windy... but we have a fantastic team and we have all pulled together," said Mark Evans, chairman of Strawberry Fair.

In 2025, the one-day free festival was cancelled after volunteers said running costs had doubled over the previous decade.

Evans added: "Having a year out, we really took stock of what we could improve and how, and get a bit of funding in."
