About
Friends
The Friends of Cherry Hinton hall are a newly formed group, in 2009, of people concerned about the usage, environment, welfare and future of the park for the benefit of those who use it. The friends want to act as advocates / champions of Cherry Hinton Hall grounds for the general public and act as a communication channel between the Council and public.
Cherry Hinton Hall
Cherry Hinton Hall is a beautiful park in Cherry Hinton, to the south of Cambridge in the UK. Cherry Hinton Hall (CHH) is a Grade II listed Victorian country house set in a beautiful (now public) park in Cherry Hinton, to the south of Cambridge in the UK. The house and grounds are owned and managed by Cambridge City Council. The Hall is most well known for hosting the annual Cambridge Folk Festival, an ever-growing (in size and popularity) event that regularly draws thousands to the park. During the summer months, aside from hosting the Folk Festival, Cherry Hinton Hall is alive with predominantly young families enjoying the wide open grass spaces, children's play park, paddling pool and the large ponds which for many is the defining feature of the park along with the vast array of other wildlife living there. Many community activities also take place in the park. In 2007 Cherry Hinton Hall became home to Cambridge International Preparatory School.
