Is the Ely Fireworks Night Good for Families with Young Kids?

Hey everyone! We're a family of three with a daughter who’s almost 3 years old, and we're thinking about attending the fireworks display on Saturday. We love the idea of celebrating together, but we're not sure if it's kid-friendly, especially for toddlers.

How’s the noise level for little ones? We want her to enjoy the colors and excitement without getting overwhelmed.

Any tips or experiences would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!

I saw the Tsuchinshan comet, Andromeda, Starlink & meteors from Adventurer’s Fen last night

Used a pair of binoculars to see the comet & andromeda, but the sky was great without too much pollution.

Is Soham safe to live?

Hi.. I moved to UK/Cambridge this year and I am working in Cambridge and currently living in Cambridge in a shared house which was supposed to be my temporary accommodation. I am looking for a house to move in and found out that Cambridge rents are crazy and unaffordable, so I decided to explore the surrounding villages(i drive). I have been looking for houses in Huntingdon and Ely(because of easy access to train stations) i have found a house in proximity of Ely at Soham(10 minutes from Ely station). My question is that how safe is Soham? Whats like living there? I like playing sport(football, table tennis, badminton) whats the scene like, in and around Soham?

Aged beef and quality meet

Sometimes I fancy to have a nice aged steak but the butchers I have seen in Ely doesn't look like they had.

Is there any meat lover that like this kind of pricey treats and can recommend a butcher on the area ?

Thanks

Transport to Impington

Hey there, is it possible to go to Impington Village College directly from Ely? I could only find options that takes between 1h30 and 2h going first to Cambridge and then to Impington.

Is this enough time to change trains?

This would be my first time taking the train to Edinburgh and I wanted to know if 8 minutes is enough time to change lines. Is this possible or should I look for a different connecting train?
