Places are booking up fast for next month’s Open Cambridge, the annual weekend of events and activities now in its sixth year. Bigger than ever, the programme allows visitors to explore the natural, cultural and industrial histories of this ancient city through talks, walks, tours and exhibitions – all offered free of charge, with the exception of the Bridge the Gap charity walk.
Between Friday, 13 and Sunday, 15 September, libraries, gardens, museums and buildings that normally restrict public access will be open to visitors wishing to participate in a range of activities. Places and buildings hosting events include the ADC Theatre, the Institute of Astronomy and Cambridge University Library.
“We are delighted that Open Cambridge is so popular with the local community. Bookings this week have been very high, but we have lots of really amazing drop-in events on Friday, 13 and Saturday, 14 September,” said Sue Long, organiser of Open Cambridge.
