Held on the first Saturday of June, residents and visitors gather together on Midsummer Common to celebrate their vibrant and creative city.
The Fair is a labour of love and is run entirely by volunteers (affectionately known as Strawberry Fairies) who channel their energy, imagination, and vision into presenting their friends and neighbours in Cambridge with a great, free day out.
Strawberry Fair is a visual and musical extravaganza for all the family, a jamboree for people of all ages. Strawberry Fair is a feast for music lovers and anyone who wants to participate in Community Arts. Throughout the Fair, across over 10 hours of the day, you can enjoy an eclectic range of music and performances from well over 100 groups, both local and from further afield. Find out more about this year’s areas and stages.

Party Games
2024-06-04 - 2024-06-07 | Cambridge Arts Theatre, 6 St. Andrews Passage, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB2 3PJ
A hilariously acerbic new comedy by Michael McManus, the writer of Maggie & Ted, directed by Joanna Read.
Starring Matthew Cottle (of BAFTA-nominated BBC sitcom Game On and Channel 4’s hit comedy The Windsors), Debra Stephenson (Bad Girls, Coronation Street) and Ryan Early (Coronation Street, The Archers) Party Games! puts political leadership on the ledge and goes inside the chaos of government to see whether advisers do advise and if ministers can decide.
This is the UK, 2026, John Waggner newly elected leader of the hastily formed centrist One Nation Party presides over a hung parliament, a discontented electorate and striking cheese makers.
He and his power-hungry MPs must cling onto authority through whatever shaky means possible. Can one man, a Svengali spin doctor and some dodgy data unite the country? And what role can his wife, the King and a large spider play in keeping the lights on?
General Guidance – Performance contains strong language. Age Guidance 12+
Tuesday – Saturday, 7.30pm/ Thursday & Saturday, 2.30pm
Tickets, £20/£25/£35/£40. All ticket prices include a £3 per ticket booking fee.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
2024-06-11 - 2024-06-14 | ADC Theatre, Park Street, Cambridge, CB5 8AS
A cartoonish, eclectic group of six overachieving mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime.
While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words. Each hope to never hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake, and the overstated feeling of failure that resonates with overachievers everywhere. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
Complete with an engaging, tuneful score by William Finn and a sweet, funny book by Rachel Sheinkin, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee causes audiences to fall in love, both with the show itself and its “perspicacious”, “jocular” and “effervescent” spellers.
This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.
Nightly performances at 7.45 pm.
Tickets – £10.00 to £17.00.
For info go to https://www.adctheatre.com/whats-on/musical/the-25th-annual-putnam-county-spelling-bee/
