Peterborough has a busy calendar of local events, and The City Brief is here to help you stay informed. Whether you're exploring cultural events and open-air markets in Cathedral Square, following developments in Priestgate, or enjoying outdoor activities at Nene Park, there's always something happening across the city. Our weekly coverage keeps you up to date with what's on in Peterborough. From the annual Bridge Fair each October to St. Peter's Fair in July, from the five-day celebration of beer and live music at the CAMRA beer festival in August to the Peterborough Dragon Boat Festival drawing thousands of spectators and teams each June, we track the events that matter to your community. The City Brief helps Peterborough residents find local happenings without searching multiple sources. We cover cultural offerings at Peterborough Cathedral and Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery, seasonal fairs and festivals, community gatherings, and more. Our focus is simple: keeping you connected to your city, week to week. Peterborough's neighbourhoods each have their own character. Whether you're in the city centre or further afield in areas like Netherton, there are events, activities, and opportunities to connect with neighbours and the wider community. The City Brief brings these together, so you can plan ahead and join in. We believe local events build communities.
