Theatre of Widdershins
2025-12-07 - 2025-12-08 | Stapleford Granary, Bury Road, Stapleford, CB22 5BP
Theatre of Widdershins: Snow White Rose Red Bear Brown (LIMITED TICKETS REMAINING)
Performances at 11:00am & 2:00pm
Suitable for ages 4+
Snow White and Rose Red – sisters, twins, best friends – have lived in the forest since they were Babes in the Wood, brought up by their hardworking Mother to be kind, caring and forest fluent… if sometimes a little over enthusiastic in their deeds! When their quiet life is interrupted by a friendly bear a new chapter begins. But why has the bear chosen them as playfellows? Why is there sadness in his eyes? And who on earth is that rude little man with a ridiculously long beard that they keep bumping into?
All questions will be untangled in this new show from the Woods of Widdershins, using puppets, storytelling, original music and a fantastical fairytale forest.
Theatre of Widdershins was created by Andy Lawrence in 1994, performing eight major productions in schools, libraries, village halls and theatres. Andy is a self-taught puppet marker whose previous work includes costume commissions for the Light Entertainment Department of the BBC (Russ Abbot, Little & Large, Dr Who) puppet and prop making for theatre companies How It Ended and Full House, and collaborations with the Norwich Puppet Theatre and the Roald Dahl Story Company.
Tickets £11 | £9 (under 25) Children must be accompanied by an adult. All attendees must have tickets.

Cambridge Winter Beer Festival
2025-12-10 - 2025-12-14 | Cambridge Corn Exchange, 2 Wheeler Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB2 3QB, United Kingdom
In 1974, the very first CAMRA Beer Festival took place at the Cambridge Corn Exchange… and they famously ran out of beer on the very first day! This December, the Cambridge Winter Festival returns — and this time, they’re making sure the taps don’t run dry.
90+ real ales, ciders and perries, craft beer, and international beer. Food available.
As part of the Corn Exchange’s 150th anniversary celebrations, the Cambridge Winter Beer Festival is not just about great beer, food and festivities — it’s also about honouring the story of this remarkable venue.
Designed by Victorian architect Richard Reynolds Rowe and built in 1875 from a quarter of a million local bricks, the Corn Exchange first opened its doors as a place for farmers to trade corn. Over the last century and a half, it has been at the very heart of Cambridge life: hosting motor shows, revolutionary suffragette meetings, Tea for a Thousand in 1935, the cleaning and repair of rifles during the Second World War, and later welcoming some of the biggest names in entertainment to its stage.
Entrance is paid on the door (weekday 12-3pm free | weekday 5-10:30pm and Saturday whole day £5). There are no advance tickets. Last admission is 30 minutes before closing. Free entry for CAMRA members to all sessions.
