The 27 best shows in Cambridge

J2: Friendly staff from the doorman to the bar. This section although smaller has great sound for bands such as Brass Funkies. There are spots to sit down or dance in the middle of the room. The welcome desk also offers ear plugs just in case it is too loud for you. Local beers, there is no draft, and juices.

Came to see Dr Marcus Pearce talk about the neuroscience of music. What does music do in the brain and why is it pleasurable? Part of the Seed Talls series. Well worth the visit from London!

We've been to The Junction 3 or 4 times now and every time the staff were, without fail, friendly and helpful and last night in particular when my fiancée almost fainted and ended up on the floor by the bar. The staff were very quick to notice and no less then two staff came to help, one with a drink just in case and the other with a wheelchair. Thank you to the team for being so attentive switched on and helping her into the wheely. As a general review I can say the place is well layed out with the bar off-set from the stage area though within view of it and somtimes this can lead to sound from the bar bleeding into the audience area if you're standing to the right of the stage. But thats normal with most gigs I've been to. The toilets on all visits have always been clean and tidy. There is a well organised cloakroom and if you park in the multi-story car park next door, you need to collect a discount code from the staff when you leave. They hand these out at the door. Plenty of food places outside the building and an arcades centre with Ten Pin bowling. Thank you again for a well supported evening

Great venue, but oddly placed toilets when they shut one set and you have to walk through 5 rooms and hundreds of people to take a waz!

Visited 01/06/24: ♿️ I visit a lot of theatres and this was a lovely place. The staff were really friendly and as a disabled customer I felt taken care of. We were shown where the toilets were and later taken to additional easier to access toilets- which had a hoist and full changing set up for non ambulant customers which is so rare to see! This is an intimate venue but doesn’t feel overwhelming or crowded. I like the industrial feel of the theatre and bar area. The prices are really good for a theatre- having paid anywhere from £6-10 a pint their prices were dare I say cheap! Although I went to an unreserved showing they reserved seats for me where I could get my wheelchair in which had a great position to see the stage. I parked in the multi-storey car park nearby but hadn’t realised they have spaces literally right outside the venue too. Fully accessible entrance with automatic buttons. Would definitely come back to this theatre.

Great place, my band performed here all the staff are really nice helped out with the kit and setup the atmosphere and size is amazing and the drinks are great. Tickets are really well priced as well. So go and support a friend or local band! Un night out with your friends Back stage was fab too, very secure chilled out space and the bands signed and stickers was amazing too see 🙈 Would recommend

We went to see Braimah Kenneh-Mason, Plinio Fernandes and Hydewich van Gent via Through the Noise. This part of the Junction is a great little venue. Acoustics were amazingly good and we managed to get a seat near the stage. Would definitely go again. It really was a fabulous evening, young people doing what they do best - showing off their passions.

The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge is truly a gem—and completely free! Founded in 1816 from the personal collection of Richard Fitzwilliam, it has grown into a world-class museum with stunning collections of art, antiquities, manuscripts, and decorative arts. The building itself is beautiful, with grand galleries and a light-filled central hall. Highlights include works by Turner, Monet, and Van Dyck, as well as fascinating Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artifacts. Every corner has something to surprise you, from delicate miniatures to imposing sculptures. Whether you’re an art lover, history enthusiast, or just curious, it’s easy to spend hours exploring. A perfect cultural stop in Cambridge, and a must-see for both locals and visitors.

This is a fantastic museum and if you’re interested in art, it would be a reason enough to come to Cambridge, even if you have nothing else while you’re here. There’s a lot of nice impressionist paintings as well as other realist and pointillism from around the same time. As you could see in the photos, the Holdings for armory, Greek, Roman, Egyptian, ceramics are very extensive. I’ve got a big gift shop in a very nice little café on site as well. It’s really nice.

A true oasis of culture and beauty in the heart of Cambridge. Whenever I have a bit of time I like to walk in and get a good dose of inspiration. The museum never disappoints. The staff are lovely, helpful and friendly. I like the new, more modern display mixing various periods under different themes, it's refreshing. There are always fascinating temporary exhibitions too. The café and gift shop are also excellent. All in all, the Fitzwilliam museum is a must if you have more than several hours in Cambridge.

Very nice museum with a lots of different arts displayed from various era and places. If you like arts your place is here when you visiting Cambridge. The entry was free, the staff was polite and helpful all the way. Please make a note turn off your phone flash as it harms the the displayed arts. The staff also will ask you politely. You can take many photos as you want. Very diverse and nice collection. Recommended to visit it. I post pictures from my favourite part the armory.

now write me a short review of my trip to the fitzwilliam museum in Cambridge England. The visit to the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge was a captivating exploration of art and history, offering an impressive collection that spans centuries and cultures. Highlights included the museum’s exquisite paintings and finely curated artifacts, each thoughtfully presented to tell its own unique story. The blend of classical and contemporary works created a rich, immersive experience, making the Fitzwilliam a must-visit destination for anyone interested in art, archaeology, and cultural heritage in a beautifully historic setting.

We only had time to visit the main museum but were not disappointed, some great pieces very nicely and clearly displayed. The building itself is simply stunning

Popped in for a few hours before my train, so unfortunately didn't get to see everything, but what I did see was impressive. There is definitely something for everyone here, with artifacts seemingly from all over the world, and from every time period, even some modern works of art. I particularly enjoyed the armory room, seeing all the weapons and armour is right up my street. The piece that struck me most was a firearm that was also an axe! I also really enjoyed seeing some of the old Chinese dynasties pottery, given how old it is and that other ancient cultures usually take the limelight, some artifacts were over 3000 years old! Definitely one to revisit and see what I missed the first time round!

Excellent concert venue. Big enough to have a decent crowd but still feel relatively intimate. Attended Ocean Colour Scene supported by Kula Shaker and it was a brilliant experience. Go to a lot of gigs and this venue is right up there. Excellent sound, great location well run (bar is a little slow but where isn't really) Absolutely recommend, we travelled from Ireland and will be watching out for more gigs to attend here. Top stuff.

Nice venue and easy access. Bear in mind most of the seating is positioned flat so may have restricted views if a tall person sits in front of you! With that said, this venue has a great line up!

Nice enough. Easy to find. We got there early. Front door was open but no-one anywhere in evidence. Went back nearer the start time and got in easily. Signage internally is a bit hit and miss but the ushers were helpful. The acoustics are a bit poorer than I'm used to (rock concert). Seating is good and reasonably comfy. Views are reasonable, even from our cheaper seats. If you're driving in, onsite parking non-existent. Council carparks are close, charging £1.50/hr after 6pm but if you want to make a day of it and park earlier, be prepared to pay a LOT more. There's several Park and Ride carparks available but the bus services stop at about 8pm, making getting back from a show a nightmare. Some park & ride parks are served within a 10-15-20 minutes walk by local buses but you need to do a bit of googling. One BIG criticism: Customer service?they've heard of it. I emailed to their only published email address with a question. Twice. Several days apart. Absolutely no response at all, even to say "sorry can't help". Very poor indeed.l

Nice venue, first visited there in 1972. It's changed a bit since then. Back in the day it was mainly standing for the bands I used to see. Now it's all seated One complaint I have is that the tiers of seating are not steep enough, so you can have your view blocked by people seated in front. Can't comment on the bar, as didn't use it. Getting in and out of the venue was pretty fast.

I was there for a Hawkins concert. The seats are comfortable and the sightlines are ok. The bar staff are friendly and the drinks typical for a theatre, ie expensive but not ridiculous. Toilets are clean but barely adequate for the venue size.

My friends and I were in the top tier. The show was great. However, the seats in that tier are to small even for small bodies and they are not staggered to enhance viewings. The venue was very warm and we were all very glad when the show ended. Exit to the outside was good and much needed due to the heat in the exchange.

Great concert venue. Seating a bit cramped on the balcony but watching Rick Wakeman and his superb band kept my mind off it!

Nice venue and good seats. However the layout makes queues for toilets exceptionally long and merged in with the bar queue. The bar ran out of bottled water. Staff lovely however. Parking close by at grand arcade.

Always able to share a laugh or two with the volunteers, this is a super theatre and we are lucky to be near enough to attend a lot of shows, all very well presented and entertaining

Lovely theatre in the centre of Cambridge. A varied and largely youth oriented programme that supports local theatre groups. Seats are a little dated nowadays but legroom is generous.

I really enjoyed my visit to see The Dad's Army Radio show and there are plenty of interesting shows to go and see. This is a medium sized theatre with a community feel. There is enough leg room for most people in the auditorium. They now seem to be allowing most bags inside, however this is not reflected on tickets and marketing, so the situation is rather confusing. Also be prepared to stand whilst waiting for the auditorium to open as there is limited seating in the vestibule area.

Incredible theatre, nice big stage, good sound system, amazing venue with refreshments available. Here to watch - Balletboyz - enjoying it so far. Sitting in row M seats 15-16 Can see clear apart from the very tall person to the right front of me. That’s just luck. Hope this review helps.

Went to watch Six the musical, never knew this existed but such a beautiful theatre in Cambridge. The staff were great and entry and exit were smooth Had a great night

The content of this review has been removed, not sure why. I left this review after the Matthew Kelly and Julian Clary play, which was amazing, even without Matthew Kelly not appearing! I think it might have been professional on your part to have emailed the audiences that were affected in advance that a key actor would not be appearing to save a lot of disappointment. I particularly booked this to see Matthew Kelly. Also, more seating is needed in public areas. I have since visited to see Murder on the Orient Express which was very good.

This is a great little theatre. A little scruffy in the auditorium but blends well with the audience of predominantly students. The staff are extremely friendly and the bar is a great place to meet before the show and after. Bar prices are very reasonable too. The standard of performance was excellent although the sound could have been a little better. Thoroughly recommend if you are looking for an evening's entertainment.

Had a most ridiculously shocking experience with this theatre. We had tickets booked for a show and couldn’t make it so they agreed to allow us to reschedule for another day BUT the catch was that we had to pay an Extra £3/- pound ( which was fine being weekend rate surcharge) BUT we were being forced and coerced and persuaded to pay this over the phone by a lady called GRACE and she wanted us to give her our card security pin on the phone for this measly £3/- she claimed this is what they normally make people do . HAS NOBODY TOLD THEM THAT THIS NOT ALLOWED ? Would ADC take full responsibility for any security breach or fraud on my card ? Moreover when we asked to speak to the manager this lady refused and told us we couldn’t do so. So many red flags . Finally since we did not give her our CVV she hung up and we lost our £30/- pounds price for our tickets. With NO REFUND option by them.

This was an absolutely wonderful experience on a visit to Cambridge. We wanted something lively and budget to do on an early Winter's evening and booked this. This was a student production but there was some serious talent on that stage. We saw The Addams Family, an inventive story around these famous characters created for Halloween. I must single out Morticia, Uncle Fester (played with gusto by a girl), the mother of the straight family (incredible energy and fun) and grandma (like a young Julie Walters) as actors that may have serious futures, with a wonderfully energetic Gomez. Keep acting, don't let the world not have your talents, my partner and I laughed all evening. Not often you can say that about an amateur performance.

This is a great little theatre in the heart of the town centre, and a department of Cambridge University. We have driven from Surrey to see the University's Show Choir a couple of times now. Wee loved the theatre and the performance. Although it only seats approx 230 people, the atmosphere is still awesome.

I absolutely love this theatre—so affordable, yet filled with incredible talent. I've thoroughly enjoyed every production I've seen and can’t wait to return for their fantastic upcoming lineup. Always an amazing experience!

Great little theatre with a cool variety of shows. The Addams family tonight was next level.. The story, performing, music and stage design we're way above expectations. Abc theatre should be very proud :)

Wonderful performance of the Total Works of Jane Austen. Comfortable auditorium, good bar and the connected piano recital was a nice touch.

Beautiful Cathedral King’s College Chapel is an amazing architectural building of Gothic Art. Probably one of the most iconic landmarks in this city. We highly recommend the visit. It is very unique, but tremendously stunning!

Words are wasted here - one of the finest monuments to Perpendicular architecture anywhere. Go in, have your breath taken away, admire the paintings, and try and keep your heart in your chest. The fan vaulting is like no other. Pick a sunny, still day, and approach the college from the Backs, the classic side - you avoid the tourists, feel more like a student 😉 And when you are done, take some time sitting on the Backs, and appreciate that Rupert Brooke and others used to punt to here from Grantchester for their lectures. I'm guessing (hoping?) in straw boaters

Indeed a very very special place. We were lucky that a former student has shown us this area. With all the details and historical parts of the Kings college chapel. All these details are so special that you need to take the time to observe all the details of this chapel. The colors, the building architecture in relation with the stories is amazing. You can easily enter this chapel via the main entrance of the Kings College. Please do vist the total area which is amazing and combine this visit with the other College areas in Caimbridge.

There is a reason this is a must stop. The ceiling alone was worth the price of admission. The stain glass work was very human. It needs renovation. They seemed to admire the "modern man" in several panels which caught my attention. Yes, all the tourists stop here. . .for a reason.

Very beautiful place, nice place, i havent been punting but I would like to try👍. Lots of shops and places to eat near. Students who study here should be gratful for such a beautiful college✌️

Can only visit the chapel by attending a service. We went to Evensong - a truly uplifting place. It made me feel very humbled. The choristers were serene.

Visited for organ recital and evensong which is a good way to visit a chapel and spend some quiet time to admire the architecture. Both exterior and interior are stunning. There is no charge to visit a chapel if you come for church service. Otherwise the college has quite pricey sightseeing ticket.

A tranquil botanic gem in a busy city! An extraordinary garden of plants with some beautiful tree species. Easily accessed via the Park and Ride there's room to explore, learn or just sit and relax. Add to this a cafe with great coffee and the biggest croissants I've ever seen thanks to Stir Bakery, it's a wonderful day out.

I recently visited the Cambridge University Botanic Garden in the evening, and it was one of the most peaceful experiences I’ve had in the city. The atmosphere was calm, quiet, and perfect for simply being yourself. Unlike many crowded spots, here you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy nature at your own pace. The garden is beautifully maintained with a huge variety of plants and trees from different parts of the world. Each plant is labelled with its scientific name, which makes the walk not only relaxing but also quite educational. I found it fascinating to see species that I would otherwise never come across. Whether you are someone who enjoys botany or just loves greenery, the diversity on display is impressive. What I especially liked about visiting in the evening was how tranquil it felt. The soft light made the colours of the plants stand out, and the paths were quiet enough to just reflect, think, or simply sit in peace. It’s the kind of place where you can take a slow stroll, spend time with yourself, or even bring a book and read under the trees. Overall, a must-visit in Cambridge for anyone who wants to escape the noise of the city and connect with nature.

The Botanical Gardens are always lovely any time of year. They are great value for money and very family friendly as they always have free activities for children and there is no charge for them to enter. Lots of lovely plants and different areas from the greenhouses to winter gardens. Only negative points...the food is very expensive and wasn't particularly good (a very bland salad today...apparently it was supposed to have raisins in...I got one! At £6 a bowl I expected flavour and *gasp* a dressing). The other is parking. Not the gardens fault, but there isn't any. This is particularly difficult for disabled people. You can park for 3 hours but that's very little time to visit given the extra time and effort it takes with a disability. There are NO disabled spaces and the pavement is is dangerous for either a mobility scooter or walking aid users. The Council needs to revaluate this! Also wish they'd keep the shop open till 5pm so you can buy stuff on the way out! They are missing a trick there.

I absolutely loved visiting the Cambridge Botanical Garden! It’s such a peaceful and beautiful place — full of colours, calm corners, and the gentle energy of nature. I could have spent hours just walking around and watching the flowers and trees. The glasshouses are amazing too! A truly magical spot to relax and feel inspired.

I had a lovely visit! It was a quiet Monday, and pleasant even with intermittent showers. It’s a good size - not overwhelmingly big (I found Kew too big for one day). The glass houses were a particular highlight but lots of other lovely areas like the herbaceous borders and the scented garden. The Rising Path was informative. I enjoyed a salad and drink for lunch at the cafe, which wasn’t busy. If you buy a ticket, you can leave and come in again on the same day which I did and was handy for me. I’ll definitely come again!

This is a magical destination, especially for those who love plants. Despite visiting on a weekday, there was a decent crowd, but it never felt overwhelming. There is so much to see in terms of plant life, and we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a banana tree in bloom. We were also grateful for the fully-stocked cafe, which provided much-needed cool drinks on a warm day.

We went there with family and we had a good time. Great place to visit when it’s not raining. To be honest it was one level of lower than my expectations also tickets could be £5 for adults , that would be much reasonable price rather than £8 . Free for children. Also for that large land scape they could do much activity for kids. But end of the our visit we left with positive feelings. Worth to visit.

I found Cambridge Market Square underwhelming. For such a historic and vibrant city, I expected something more distinctive and rooted in the local culture. Instead, the stalls felt generic, selling things that could be found in almost any market elsewhere. There wasn’t much that felt uniquely “Cambridge” about it. The food options were particularly disappointing. Nothing stood out as something I’d want to try again, and the prices were on the high side for what was being offered. I wouldn’t really choose to eat there, especially when there are so many better places around the city. Overall, the market lacks character and originality. It doesn’t showcase local produce, crafts, or specialties in a way that would make it worth visiting. Honestly, there’s nothing that makes it feel like a must-see in Cambridge—it could just as easily be anywhere else.

Cambridge Market Place is a treasure trove of diversity and delight! With a vast array of shops selling everything from quirky souvenirs to mouth-watering dishes from around the world, you'll find something to suit every taste and interest. And if you're looking for fresh produce, you'll be spoiled for choice. A must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the best of Cambridge's culture, food, and shopping - you won't be disappointed!

Cambridge is a market city, and stalls have been trading at the historic market square in the city centre since the middle ages. From Monday-Sunday, 10am-4pm, you will find stalls selling a wide range of goods including: Street Food, Books, Vinyl, CDs and DVDs Clothes, jewellery and bags Fruit and vegetables, fresh fish and health foods Second hand bikes Garden plants Mobile phones and accessories ...and much more!

Very expensive stuff (tourist prices) but a great variety of food & drink including organic, trinkets and souvenirs here. We had some nice Malaysian-Japanese take away. Cam Cattle sells great steak here at the weekend - sells quickly though so best to visit in the morning.

very busy local market, has few benches nearby for sitting down to eat/drink, worth to look around if you don’t know what to eat for lunch/dinner or simply just grab some snacks to munch.

Best place to find snacks and food during the weekend in Cambridge.

There weren’t as many stalls as I expected, to be honest. It’s quite small even smaller than some neighborhood markets back in Turkey. But we got lucky and found a Turkish stand selling gözleme, and it was absolutely amazing! That definitely made our day 🥹

Fantastic museum/centre, very educational for those wanting to know more about technology/computers not just for us IT nerds. A real insight into the history of computers and how they evolved to change our world. Even an IT professional such as myself would recommend it to others in the field. Very hands on exhibits, pretty cool to sample the gaming consoles of old.. brings back memories as a kid. Definitely worth a visit.

There is absolutely nothing here that is not to like, on so many levels. Not only did it provide a wonderful and balanced history on the development of the computer over the centuries, they've preserved some wonderful artefacts as well as some fantastic interactive elements. All of the hands-on PCs and consoles were fully working and loaded up with excellent representative milestone games. This is a wonderfully curated collection and truly a Mecca for any enthusiast.

I discovered this establishment online while planning a trip to Cambridge. I didn’t know quite what to expect, other than learning about the history of computers and technology. Tickets are £12 for adults, which is very reasonable. At first, you enter a small area at the front, and towards the back, there’s a room filled with old-school computers and machines. Then the real magic begins: you step into an interactive section where you can actually play classic gaming consoles like the Nintendo 64, PlayStation 1 and 2, Xbox, and more. As a longtime gamer, I found this place absolutely outstanding. It brought back so much nostalgia! There’s even a mock-up 1970s-style office you can explore. It’s great fun for the whole family, and if you’re a gamer, it’s definitely a must-visit. There’s also a small merchandise section, and a bathroom near the front counter. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better.

Friendly staff. Fully Wheelchair Accessible. 👍 Born early 70's, I grew up with a lot of those computers and games, so it was really going back in time for me, and I felt like a kid again! I would have loved to see more C64/C128, and maybe a Vic 20, and to have more playable games on Amiga 500 (or just showing something like the Settlers Intro on the A500). I didn't see any mention of the Thomson series of computers like the TO7 and TO70 (with its Optic Pen), around the same time as the C64, I think, or the MO5 and MO9 in the early/mid 80's, IIRC. Nevertheless, it was great, with a fair amount of people there on an early sunny Sunday Afternoon, from young children to some elderly people, and everyone appears to have a great time!

Wonderful spot, I think you could easily spend the whole day there with the different games. However, I loved the has some many original Macs and NEXT. Almost broke PacmAn record🤠

Very nostalgic. And I found the computer that I used to use when I was 15 years old this place really brought back a lot of memories of my childhood so I’m glad I took the time to check out this place on my quick trip to the UK.

I didn't I would love it like I did. What an amazing time machine of technology. So many consoles, computers and equipment. I spent hours looking at everything and playing with games just like I did as a child.

I know it's only a clock, but it's a very special clock. One which is mysterious, hypnotic and captivating, all at once. If you're in Cambridge and haven't seen it before, make sure you check it out. It's even more magical when it's dark, as you get to see these awesome blue lights 😀.

The Corpus Clock is an intriguing and unusual piece of public art located right on the corner of one of Cambridge’s busiest intersections. The craftsmanship is fascinating — especially the way the grasshopper-like Chronophage “eats time.” It’s a brilliant fusion of art, science, and engineering, and worth seeing if you’re nearby. That said, the spot is quite cramped and always busy, so it’s hard to stop and take photos without being in the way. Still, a quick look as you pass by is well worth it.

A unique and fascinating landmark in Cambridge. The Corpus Clock was unveiled in 2008 by Stephen Hawking and created by John C. Taylor, a former student of Corpus Christi College. The clock is known as the Chronophage – the “time eater.” Instead of hands, it shows the time with blue LEDs. On top sits a large mechanical grasshopper that “devours” each second as it passes. There are no numbers on the face, and the movement is deliberately uneven, to remind us that the flow of time feels subjective. In fact, the clock shows the exact time only once every five minutes. Both artistic and philosophical, it is a striking reminder that time is precious, fleeting, and unstoppable. Definitely worth seeing in person when in Cambridge.

We took a train from Liverpool station in London to Cambridge to start our Cambridge day trip. This was our first stop. There is a very informative article by Dr Ewan St. John Smith entitled "Secrets of the Corpus Clock" on the Corpus Christi College site. We also visited the Mathematical Bridge nearby, which has a long history.

The Corpus Clock is a striking and unconventional timepiece located at Corpus Christi College in Cambridge, England. Unveiled on September 19, 2008, by physicist Stephen Hawking, this clock has captivated visitors with its unique design and thought-provoking symbolism. 🕰️ Design and Functionality Spanning approximately 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) in diameter, the clock’s face is a rippling, 24-carat gold-plated stainless steel disc. Instead of traditional hands or numerals, time is displayed through 60 illuminated slits arranged in three concentric rings, representing seconds, minutes, and hours. These slits light up sequentially, creating the illusion of moving hands. On a top of the clock sits the Chronophage, a mechanical grasshopper-like figure that “eats” time. This creature moves its jaws every second, symbolizing the relentless passage of time. The Chronophage’s movement is linked to the clock’s mechanism, which employs a grasshopper escapement—a design first introduced by John Harrison in the 18th century. However, in the Corpus Clock, this escapement is externalized and exaggerated, serving both a functional and artistic purpose.

The Corpus Clock is free, and that’s the right price. It’s a striking design, but the real show is the beast above the clock. It blinks, crawls, and adds a touch of unease. At night, the glow makes it more impressive. Worth a quick stop, though it’s more spectacle than depth. 3.5/5

The Corpus Clock was unveiled in 2008 by physicist Stephen Hawking. It was conceived and funded by Dr. John C. Taylor, a Cambridge alumnus, inventor, and horologist best known for inventing the thermostat in electric kettles. He spent over £1 million of his own money and five years to create the clock. The clock is mounted on the outside of the Taylor Library, facing King's Parade. It’s a mechanical clock with no hands or numbers. Instead, time is displayed through blue LED lights that show the hours, minutes, and seconds around a 24-carat gold-plated stainless steel disc. The Chronophage is a sculpted mechanical insect that "walks" around the clock face as time passes. Its legs move, it blinks, and occasionally it opens its mouth and appears to "eat" time, symbolizing the relentless nature of time and mortality.

We were lucky to have Cambridge bathed in sunshine. The city was buzzing, with people enjoying the river and the backs of the college's. Cambridge is at its very best, like this, with all the great restaurants to choose from and the busking in the streets, Cambridge is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city.

Very peaceful and great views of the colleges. Could be more accessible to the public — there are lots of gates in inconvenient places

Backs refers to River Cam in Cambridge where people go for a leisurely boat trip. Lot of Cambridge institutions maybe seen on the boat trip. Costs £20/- a person

Cambridge is a beautiful city. Every midsummer is buzzing with graduation balls at many of the colleges. I am fortunate to have lived there most of my childhood and adult life. I still love to visit there as a tourist.

Good place for a day trip from London

I was looking for a park to have a lovely scroll, the weather was not the best, but it was lovely anyway, nice views and plenty pathways to explore.

Historic back side of Cambridge with pastures and a park like setting. My son goes to school there so we walked the entire place. FOLLOW ME for more thoughtful recommendations as I travel the world 🌎

This was a super fun experience just off the side of the bridge are built that you can either rent for a group or you can have them give you a ride. I should just going to the downstairs ones to the guy is in the green jacket. it’s a lot more affordable. I paid 20£ to go instead of 75 and they take you underneath the bridge in past most of the colleges in chapels and you can see a lot. It’s really fun. I suggest bring an umbrella because it was really hot and green sunscreen. I wish I did. lol and also bring some bread for you and for the ducks and geese, you can feed them along the river and it’s really fun

The Mathematical Bridge is one of Cambridge’s most famous and visually striking bridges, located at Queens’ College over the River Cam. Its official name is the Wooden Bridge, but it earned the nickname “Mathematical Bridge” because of its ingenious design, which relies on a series of straight timbers arranged in a precise, geometric pattern to form a self-supporting arch. The current version dates from the early 20th century, though a similar design has existed since the 18th century. The bridge’s construction often sparks curiosity and myths—one popular legend claims that it was built by Sir Isaac Newton without nails, and that students later took it apart and couldn’t put it back together. In reality, Newton had no involvement, and the bridge has always been carefully engineered with bolts. The bridge is a favorite spot for photography and sightseeing, especially when viewed from the river during punting. Its elegant wooden structure, combined with the reflections on the water and the surrounding college buildings, makes it one of the most charming and iconic scenes in Cambridge.

Iconic & Landmark Bridge in Cambridge The Mathematical Bridge is probably the most iconic bridge in Cambridge. It is beautiful and so unique. The way this was assembled in order to have no screws and just be auto-carried is an exceptional feat. Today It actually has some screws as they needed to make sure it remains, but still very impressive. This bridge is over the river Cam so Cam Bridge--> Cambridge has many bridges as the name indicates. This is one of the main features and can only be visited if you visit Queens college. Highly recommended by us!

An iconic Cambridge landmark with a fascinating story. The wooden bridge’s elegant design looks simple at first glance, but its geometry is surprisingly clever. Best viewed from the river or the nearby banks, especially when the light catches the wood against the water. A must-see for anyone exploring the city’s historic colleges.

Interesting little bridge with a quirky design, built entirely out of straight planks, but made to look like a natural arch. It is near one of the punting starting location's, so if you do decide to go punting then you'll be able to see it from another viewpoint and probably get more information that most people don't know.

Chiếc cầu gõ nhỏ nhắn bắc qua sông Cam liên kết từ những thanh gỗ có cấu trúc vòm khiễn nó vô cùng vững chắc. The Mathematical Bridge is a wooden footbridge in the southwest of central Cambridge, England. It bridges the River Cam about one hundred feet northwest of Silver Street Bridge and connects two parts of Queens' College. Its official name is simply the Wooden Bridge or Queens' Bridge. It is a Grade II listed building. The bridge was designed by William Etheridge, and built by James Essex in 1749. It has been rebuilt on two occasions, in 1866 and in 1905, but has kept the same overall design. Although it appears to be an arch, it is composed entirely of straight timbers built to an unusually sophisticated engineering design, hence the name.

Take a tour along the river and go Punting- Such a great way to learn about all the colleges and history, including mathematical bridge

The Church of St Mary the Great, often called Great St Mary’s, is one of the most important and historic churches in Cambridge. It stands right in the heart of the city, next to the marketplace and opposite the Senate House of the University of Cambridge. The church dates back to the 15th century in its current form, though there was a parish church on the site much earlier. It has long been tied to the University of Cambridge, serving as the official university church. For centuries, major university ceremonies and sermons were held here, making it central to academic life. Architecturally, it is a beautiful example of late Gothic style, with a tall tower that dominates the city center. Visitors can climb the tower, which offers one of the best panoramic views of Cambridge—the colleges, the market square, and even the countryside beyond. Inside, you’ll find elegant wooden galleries, a fine organ, and striking stained-glass windows.

One of the highlights building in Cambridge. It's very impressive construction, but the tower stands out. You have to climb the one hundred twenty seven steps to admire the vest overview of the city. The only 'but' could be that you have to pay almost nine euros to do it.

Beautiful Anglican Cathedral This is an iconic Church in the hypercentre of Cambridge. It sits right in front of Cambridge market and next to some of the top colleges. The building is beautiful and is historical dating back a few centuries. To be noted this is a great place also to climb up the stairs to get a view of Cambridge town centre. You can buy tickets in advance but you can also get them here too.

Reasonable sized church in the middle of Cambridge, which is free to enter, however to go up the bell tower it is £7.50. Outside the church is the very touristy area of Cambridge, so stepping inside for some peace and tranquility is much appreciated. Lovely stained glass windows and high ceilings make the church fairly impressive, although it doesn't take too long to see everything.

Was walking passed and saw a sign to climb up the tower, so I was sold. 123 steps gets you to the top where you get amazing views from one of the tallest buildings in Cambridge.

Beautiful views. Prepare for a bit of cardio on your way up and down! Well maintained and peaceful once at the top. Maybe bring a jumper as it can get chilly!

Not too sure why this place has so many good reviews, we went here on a Sunday to grab a roast, should have known it was going to be really bad because you have to pay up front and advertising boards that look nothing like the food (It really wasn’t a best kept secret) We both had roast beef which turned up raw and cold! Not too sure what happened there, everything else was hot. We immediately send both our meals back, waited about 20 minutes then the beef turned up overcooked (Same plates) the vegetables and everything else was cold, you couldn’t make it up!! They did give us a refund for the food, gave us free desserts which was a nice gesture but not quite sure what the chef was doing that day.

Visiting Cambridge for work, and visited the Town and Gown for some drinks afterwards. Seemed clean and pretty nice, music not too loud etc. They have a shuffleboard that is free to use as well. Quite enjoyed it here!

So delighted to have discovered this quaint theatre/restaurant/bar just off the main thoroughfare in Cambridge. The ambience was relaxing and the food was delicious. Keelan and his staff were friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. Molly was also welcomed and enjoyed a nice fresh bowl of water. Highly recommend!

Pub with Privacy I often overlook this pub, as it's located on a side road, the back of TK Maxx. The food was quite expensive compared to Eagle, Bath House and Baron of Beef. The Sunday roast tasted nice, with crispy Yorkshire pudding. The potatoes were a bit too crispy, overcooked? Not sure about the burger. The portion was small in terms of its price. The burger was not hot enough. The beef patty was a bit dry. I was not full after the burger meal. But the environment is genuinely nice, very clean and open. Every table has a big distance. The toilets are not small. I think it's a lovely environment.

Food- Overall was great in terms of taste, purple cabbage added a nice balance with the acidity. However, there were only 4 small potatoes (but were very crispy) which was a slight letdown. A small stuffing ball was nice as well but not enough. Cauliflower cheese was nice as well with decent browning for flavour, but more creamy and less cheesy though. Service- It was counter service so there wasn’t much interaction with the staff except asking for sauce and question regarding the meal. QR code wasn’t working to order either. Atmosphere- Decor of a bar/comedy club so not specifically designed for meals. Toilets were clean with baby-changing on the ground floor.

I have found my favourite pub, unfortunately I live 400 miles from it :( This place is awesome. Love the theatre details, wish I could catch a show. Very friendly service, funky music and I've just had the best steak I've ever had, which I wasn't expecting. I'd give this place 10 stars of I could.

Delicious food and a lovely atmosphere just off a quaint side street in Cambridge. I had the chicken and avocado chibatta and have no complaints 9/10 on food ! I would have rated the food higher except there wasn’t quite enough of it for my tastes, given I paid 10£. However I am a 6 foot healthy sporty lad, and I realize the portion sizes may be more reasonable for the average cliental.

University owned concert hall, about 20 mins walk from city centre. Hosts concerts and events by professional and amateur groups throughout the year. Comfortable seating, all with unobstructed view. Parking can be tricky.

This is a great venue for events. We saw a show consisting of music, singing, dancing, drama. There was a great atmosphere and the layout of the seating and stage makes it a fantastic experience. There is plenty of parking all along the West Road, which is useful, especially as we travelled 90 miles to get there.

First visit to this concert hall and glad we did. Excellent venue with good acoustics and seating to allow everyone to see the stage. Staff very efficient and friendly. Reasonably priced bar. On street parking only, get there early to park nearby.

West Road concert hall was an intimate space with plenty of seating. Bear in mind there is no cloak room, only pegs outside the hall and to leave them at your own risk. Also consider that the seating width was incredibly small, I have wide hips and was uncomfortable for the whole gig. Plus size lovelies - be prepared or ask for a seat in the isle. Otherwise a cute venue.

A great concert hall. Better book in advance, tickets are usually sold out online. Personally I prefer balcony seats. There’s a small bar on 0 floor. Drinks are reasonably priced. All staff very welcoming.

Very nice venue, even if you sit at the side, you can still see everything well, quite busy list of concerts and other things Easy on Road parking

Well-designed venue with reasonably spacious raked seating and good air conditioning in the hot weather.

Took the family out for an amazing fun game of Darts and pool. Tom was a really great host and made us feel very welcome which added to our fantastic day out. Boom Battle Bar is defo a place to go!

Came here for my hen do for axe throwing, darts and a cocktail masterclass! I can’t remember our darts and axe throwing members name but she was so helpful discussing how to do it and helping us out! James and Katya for the cocktails were AMAZING! So much fun and so kind and just brought insane vibes for my hen, all of the girls loved them and the cocktails weren’t bad either! Thank you to a cracking team for making such a fun day even better!!

Was a last minute decision to go in and do axe throwing and Ella managed to fit us in and she was amazing. Can’t forget the amazing bar staff 10/10 service Michael B Jordan and J.Lo

I had such a wonderful experience at Boom Battle Cambridge 🫶 The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. The drinks were perfectly made and beautifully presented. A special mention goes to OM, the bartender, who was incredibly kind and attentive. He made the whole experience extra special with his friendly service and genuine care for the guests. His professionalism and charm really stood out, and he made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Boom Battle Cambridge is definitely a place worth visiting ❤️ great food, fantastic drinks, and exceptional service. I will definitely be coming back 🌼🦋❤️

A very friendly bar in the heart of Cambridge city. A very modern touch of decor, music playing Hannah a staff member was very warm and welcoming to our needs. Boom Battle Bar is a happening place for both students and non students to visit with pool tables, happy hour games rooms. Great beers on tap and overall a great selection of drinks for all occasions. We ( my husband and l) very much recommend for a great afternoon or evening out.

First time coming and it’s safe to say we’d be back. Staff are all friendly and attentive to ALL tables. Booked in for bottomless brunch and it was beautiful, cocktails, food and service was lovely.. and to top it off - THE BATHROOM BUTTON!!!

Had an amazing family birthday celebration today (8 of us total). We tried a wide range of drinks, cocktails, bombs and shots which were all made quickly and tasted amazing by Om who was fabulous and friendly. Also had some delicious food served by Alex (good gluten free options). Big up Steph and Harry too for helping us sort out games! We played darts, karaoke, pool and had just a wonderful day. Stayed for about 7 hours! 🩷🩷🩷 thanks everyone else who served us too and created a fab and fun day out xx

This is easily one of the best bookshops I have ever been to. It's kind of hidden from the main shopping area and looks quite small from outside, but it is absolutely massive inside, and packed full of books from floor to ceiling (literally!) across several floors. Bookshops like this just don't exist anymore and it almost feels like you're taking a step back in time. The atmosphere is really pleasant and it's incredibly fun to just browse the shelves and find something interesting to read. They have a huge selection of books, so I can easily spend hours browsing in here. They also sell toys and gifts too. The staff are friendly and helpful, and I've never had to wait too long to be served. They have a large clearance section, selling books at heavily-discounted prices. In addition, there is a second hand book section, where you can bag some excellent bargains, if you don't mind buying used books. This is a fantastic bookshop and if you like books, you will absolutely love this bookshop!

Heffers becomes one of my favourite bookshops since I first visited two months ago. It is a cultural sanctuary from the extremely busy and touristy weekend Cambridge. You can find books in many different categories. The best thing to me is that it’s very easy to navigate the shop and the books. Many books are displayed on tables or facing out from shelves so it is convenient to find what you want. On top l, although not many, they do have sofas where you can sit and enjoy reading.

Great bookstore. Amazing. Good books and helpful & friendly staff. Check it out yourself:)

It’s like stepping into a book wonderland — the bookshop itself is a whole experience. It has such a rich history and the staff are genuinely lovely.

This library is really special! I love browsing through their bookshelves and sitting around to read a few pages

Great bookstore with a wide variety. Right across from Trinity. The bottom level has a lounge area where you can read. The employee at the register went out of his way to help me. Definitely worth checking out.

My 12 year old daughter is a bookworm and thought the shop was beautiful. We spend ages browsing and obviously didn't come out empty handed. Lovely staff too. It was recommended by a friend and well worth the visit.

Worst college I’ve ever been to in my entire life the teachers are so unrealiable and can’t teach for the life of them you’re better off just doing it yourself they’re login system is even worst Goodluck doing homework if your not on the premises because guess what you have to pay for an authentication app to login as well as pay for a bus if you live far that is £500 for only a year and it will most certainly be incredibly late every single time on top of that you have to pay for some sort of trip that I have absolutely no clue about I have absolutely no clue about anything that’s happening in this collage until last minute bottom line is if you have any other options just don’t come here it’s not worth it at all worst collage ever

The College is not bad but I would give it only 2 stars. Too many improvements should be done in the CELTA course, in a nutshell. Be aware, it is a very stressful course and assessment of your talents and skills is often unfair. Among things to improve I'd suggest the following: 1. Do not hire tutors non-native speakers who know English worse than students. I was asking myself: why should I learn the ropes of the CELTA from a tutor whose demo lesson was a total failure, namely substandard? 2. They permitted a mother of one of the trainees to attend the group lessons where her daughter was having teaching practice. Imagine, due to the disagreement I had with that specific trainee, her mother was repeating "I don't understand" multiple times at my teaching practice lesson. And the woman did everything correctly at her daughter’s lessons. No wonder why! It is not by chance that wise international companies do not allow their employees to hire or be in the same department with their relatives. In Cambridge CELTA they do not respect boundaries. Be aware. 3. The Level of the students we taught was immensely diverse. They included a Beginner level student to classes of Pre-Intermediate level. To make matters worse, there were Pre-Intermediate students in the Upper Intermediate group. This is totally unprofessional! 4. Another point of unprofessionalism was from a non native "tutor" when she allowed certain trainees to speak against me behind my back on Assignment 2. Moreover, she was never interested in my opinion about the things which were debatable and took the side of the gossipers. I kept everything peaceful, but decided that the public must know who they will be taught by. Such courses like the CELTA must be taught only by those who possess not less than a Master's degree in the English language specifically. There were so many errors made by that non native that it will take a lot of time to describe all that. To cut a long story short, if you have a choice, do not study the CELTA in Cambridge Regional College. And be very nosy at who particularly will teach you at a specific course. As far as I am concerned, there is only one tutor who should be given credit and his name is Tom. He was the only professional and dedicated Tutor in my course ;)

It provides good vocational training for full time students and Apprentices. The staff are excellent and very knowledgeable. There are so many courses to choose from. There will be something for everyone

so as i write this im half way through my business course and it's awful. i have autism what limits my ability's in certain areas and i have explained this to the teachers multiple time's and they just don't care at all! i also asked for help for my course a couple months back and just a few days ago they offered me help after i got lippy with them when they threatened to kick me of the course. just a not very good place in general.

If I could give this no stars I would !!!!! Extremely unprofessional and very rude staff right from the start, they also don't give a damn about there students !!!! Avoid this college at all Costs !!!! I will be going back to Peterborough or Huntingdon college in future if ever want to study again. WANTS CLOSING DOWN needs staff who care about there students instead of negative remarks and comments and made to feel stupid hope your college ends up closing down because should not be allowed open or to help tutor students !!!!😡😡😡😡

The students did very well. The food was good,although I chose the wrong dessert. I had mulled wine Eton mess just tasted like a plate of whipped cream. The supervisors did well trying to keep abreast of where each table were but we had a very enjoyable lunch.

This College is much better for teaching than other colleges. I'm in my second year of a Level 3 Course, and it is quite intense but very fun and enjoyable. I don't regret the choice to come here, even though I travel from Stevenage three days a week, it is an incredible course, and worth the travel and expense. Highly recommend. See you soon :)

This was a new discovery for me whilst I was walking along Barnwell Road. It is a Local Nature Reserve and it was clear that it wasn't a big area but I popped in to take a look around. It's a bit mixed, some parts appear to have been there for ages yet other bits seem to be a work in progress. There isn't that much to see to be honest but with a bit of effort and creative thinking it could work as a little oasis of nature for wildlife and the local community. I hope they haven't given up totally on the project as that would be a shame. I will have another visit in the summer to see if anything has changed.

There was an alcoholic walking around the site in dirty baggy clothes, wearing white headphones and holding a vodka bottle. Dont go here - he looked dangerous

Not very well maintained unfortunately. The pond area is overgrown, so you can't really see much. Plus the paths are in need of some maintenance.

Small wooded area with pond. Good for dog walkers, difficult for wheelchair access.

Not the most diverse of nature reserves but interesting enough. Muddy at the wrong time of year, especially given the increased footfall that covid brought

Hidden and not much to see, but that's really it's beauty!

Beautiful little nature reserve 😍

Fantastic production of Grease. Just a shame about the hospitality or lack of it. Added: Thanks for quick reply. Only 7 months. Manager insistent on accusing myself of amending ticket. As already explained, the ticket was a present for my mother's 50th. Very rude and unapproachable. Made to feel like a criminal. Would never recommend or attend again!!

Lovely intimate venue and the door prices are very reasonable. Good parking nearby and close to shopping, food and drinks venues.

Alice in Wonderland was really a very good ballet production.

Mums the word!
