Turtle Dove Cambridge

Join us at the Girton Feast on Saturday 11th July!

Turtle Dove Cambridge will be running a pop-up café inside the Girton Pavilion, serving sweet and savoury treats, tea, coffee and refreshments throughout the day.

With indoor seating available, it's the perfect place to take a break and enjoy the festivities.

Every purchase helps support young women across Cambridge to build confidence, gain skills and access work experience opportunities.
We'll be there on Saturday only.

A huge thank you to Sol Creative Foundry for partnering with Turtle Dove Cambridge and welcoming us into such an inspiring space for their opening weekend.

Over the two-day pop-up café, we had the pleasure of serving coffee, cake, lunches and plenty of conversation while meeting so many wonderful people from the local community. It was fantastic to see such a creative, welcoming environment bringing people together through workshops, ideas, learning and connection.
A special mention has to go to our pizzas, which made their debut at the café and proved to be incredibly popular. It was wonderful to see so many people enjoying them, and we can't wait to bring them back.

Partnerships like this create valuable opportunities for our young women to gain experience, build confidence and be part of something meaningful, while helping strengthen community connections across Cambridgeshire.

We're incredibly grateful to the Sol Creative Foundry team for their support, vision and collaboration, and we're excited about the possibilities for future projects together.

The good news is that we'll be back at Sol Creative Foundry on 27th and 28th June, serving up more coffee, homemade cakes, delicious food, fresh pizzas and friendly community vibes. We'd love to see you there.

Here's to creativity, community, opportunity and many more cups of coffee shared along the way.

A huge thank you to Big Yellow Storage Cambridge for their continued support of Turtle Dove Cambridge.

As a small organisation supporting young women into work through training, work experience and community opportunities, practical support like this helps us focus our resources where they matter most.

We have some exciting plans ahead, and this next chapter simply wouldn’t be possible without the kindness, flexibility and encouragement of people like David and the team at Big Yellow Storage.
