Events in Cambridge From 23rd March – 29th March 2026

You can find live music performances at venues like Cambridge Junction on Trumpington Street and larger public talks held at the University’s Museum of Zoology. Theatre shows feature emerging talent alongside classic stage adaptations, presented across multiple spaces including the ADC Theatre on Lensfield Road and the Corn Exchange near Castle Market. These productions draw from local histories such as early academic debates documented in university archives and explore contemporary themes like digital identity and civic participation.

Food-focused gatherings include a pop-up market at St Mary’s Street car park offering global flavours, alongside nutrition workshops hosted by Cambridge Health & Wellbeing Initiatives. Sustainable eating is also addressed through panel discussions at the University of Cambridge’s Institute for Sustainability Leadership. Family-friendly options are well represented: themed activities like egg hunts in Jesus Lane Park and character creation workshops held within museum galleries support imaginative play.

Stand-up comedy tours feature performers engaging with personal narratives, often drawing from local experiences such as commuting via Isaac Newton line or navigating recent crime hotspots near Sidney Street. Music sets reference genre-defining albums while addressing shifts in urban life since the 1980s. These events foster shared experience across generations and interests, whether attending a late-night performance at one of Cambridge’s traditional pubs, joining an informal conversation over tea with neighbours on Station Road, or simply observing how public transport routes shape daily rhythms.
