Events in Cambridge From 6th April – 12th April 2026

You can find live music, comedy, and family events across Cambridge between 5 April and 12 April 2026. Stand-up acts perform new material at pubs like The Eagle on Market Hill or the Moot in Castle Street during midweek slots, often testing routines drawn from everyday life around the city’s civic spaces. Shows typically start after 8pm and draw audiences familiar with local performance circuits.

Musical acts range from acoustic sets at community hubs such as The Forum in Cherry Hinton to chamber ensembles performing in historic settings like King's College Chapel, where recordings are sometimes made for archival use by local arts groups. These events reflect a sustained tradition of public music-making shaped by the university’s long-standing influence.

Families can join structured sessions at central libraries including Cambridge Central Library and Cherry Hinton Community Hub. These include Rhymetime with movement exercises, storytelling circles using prompts from local history archives, and drop-in play activities with open-ended materials. Sessions run in mornings or early evenings during the week.
