Byron Shirto, the festival’s organiser, said: “Travel seemed like a missing part from Cambridge’s thriving festival scene; we plan to firmly fill that gap with this event.

“It’s certainly not just for armchair travellers, we want to inspire people to get out and experience places near and far.

“Travel can be a force for good, having a positive impact on the visitors, and the host communities they interact with - it’s a win-win.”

Maria Manion, Cambridge BID CEO, added: “We are delighted to announce our partnership with the brand-new travel festival coming to Cambridge.

“Both Cambridge BID and Visit Cambridge are excited to collaborate on this vibrant event, celebrating our city’s rich culture and welcoming spirit.”

The festival will host a series of travel talks by some of the world’s most adventurous travel authors, presenters and content creators.
