How it works

A simple process, from discovering great businesses to creating something they're proud to share.

We discover great businesses

Through recommendations, local visits and conversations, we're always discovering businesses around Cambridge that deserve to be seen.


We choose a handful each year

We create something you're proud to share

Who we’re looking for

The businesses that quietly make Cambridge what it is. Independent cafés, workshops, studios, gyms, restaurants and local businesses doing genuinely excellent work every day.

Great businesses aren't always the ones with the biggest marketing budgets.

What we’ll create

Everything you need to show people what makes your business worth visiting.

Cambridge Spotlight isn't a giveaway or a competition. It's simply something we do a handful of times each year for businesses we genuinely believe deserve more attention. If we've shared this page with you, we'd love to learn a little more about what you do and why you'd like to be involved.
