Caroline Swinburne at Heffers Bookshop
2026-01-29 18:00 - 19:00 (Europe/London) | Heffers, 20 Trinity Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB2 1TY, United Kingdom
Join Caroline Swinburne, in conversation with Adrian Peel, from 6pm on Thursday the 29th of January to discuss her brand new novel Solo.

Cate was a world class musician in a leading orchestra all until a famous solo went disastrously wrong in front of a huge audience. Traumatised and humiliated, she abandons her instrument and travels the world, trying to forget. Many years later, she’s pulled back into the musical world when she starts to mentor Sarah, a talented but musically uneducated teenage horn player in a local amateur orchestra. Helping her protégé succeed could offer Cate the chance of redemption, if she can finally face her own past.

The Romantic - The Sampson Orchestra
2026-01-31 - 2026-02-01 | West Road Concert Hall, 11 West Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB3 9DP, United Kingdom
The Sampson Orchestra of Cambridge, conducted by Darrell Davison, performs works by three famous composers of the 19th-century Austro-German symphonic tradition. The concert begins with Schumann’s Manfred Overture (1848), and this is followed by Bruch’s renowned Violin Concerto No.1 (1868), featuring rising star soloist Basil Alter. The second half of the concert comprises Bruckner’s wonderful “Romantic” Symphony No.4 (1874). The local charity which will benefit from this concert is It Takes A City, which is a Cambridge Homelessness Partnership.
A particularly important sphere of the Cambridge Orchestra’s activities has been to work with local charities, amongst them the Arthur Rank Hospice, the Anglia Ruskin University Music Therapy Appeal, Cambridge Mencap, CamSight, and The Sick Children’s Trust. The Sampson Orchestra continues to do so as an important part of its charitable status.

Bath in the Roaring Twenties: risqué revelry, romance, and rivalry in the Assembly Rooms – a town torn between tradition and the new age.
Lydia and Jack are made for each other – but Lydia’s a rebel and Jack’s too posh to be her beau. What’s a chap to do? A little harmless deception, of course. Meanwhile, Jack’s father, Anthony Absolute, is determined to be obeyed, and Lydia’s guardian Mrs Malaprop is seeking a love-affair of her own – if only she could find the right words…

Prokoviev Sonatas at West Road Concert Hall
2026-02-03 - 2026-02-04 | West Road Concert Hall, 11 West Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB3 9DP, United Kingdom
Prokofiev’s second sonata, composed in 1912, has endlessly fascinated pianists: a paradoxical series of superimposed ideas, where Romanticism, parody, brutality, tender lyricism, and infinite changes of texture compete; indeed, one musicologist has described it as an example of ‘polypersonalia’. Its large-scale architecture, arresting complexity, brilliance, dreamy narratives and toccata-like finale make it one of the composer’s greatest works.
This concert sets Prokofiev’s masterpiece in the wider context of 20th-century Russian piano music with Kabalevsky’s witty and poised piano miniatures, his delightful children’s pieces and his first sonatina. Two meditative and poetic works by Fauré provide a starkly contrasting contemporary context to the rest of this programme
Oslo-born David Christophersen, Artistic Director of the Cambridge Concert Artists series at West Road Concert Hall, has performed throughout the UK, including the Woburn Abbey Festival, Bristol’s St. George’s, Edinburgh’s Reid Hall, Oxford’s Holywell Music Room, London’s St John’s Smith Square and broadcast for BBC Radio 3.

Kingmakers
2026-02-04 - 2026-02-08 | Corpus Playroom, St. Edwards Passage, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom
It is the rather historically inaccurate “Medieval period” and twin princes Alexander and Leonard have never known who is the oldest brother and therefore has the right to be King. Their mother died shortly after their birth and their father was too busy watching the Medieval football highlights to notice who was born first.
Supposed to tell them who he thinks should succeed him, the King dies before he gets his words out, leaving the battle for the crown wide open for these two rather incompetent brothers and their far more competent, cunning and witty wives. Plots, schemes, fights, outrageous insults and a devious accomplice appear in this hilarious and ridiculous 24 hour race for the throne.
This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.
Times – at 9.30 pm at Corpus Playroom
Tickets – £7.00 to £12.50

Cambridge Tradfest 26
2026-02-06 - 2026-02-09 | Mill Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB1 2BD, United Kingdom
Cambridge TradFest returns for its second year from 6–8 February 2026, bringing a weekend of Irish music and dance back to the city.
The 2026 festival will be headlined by Irish trio The High Seas, who will feature prominently across the weekend. Alongside their headline concert on Sunday, the group will lead workshops in fiddle, concertina, banjo, singing, and percussive dance, and will also join in with the popular Saturday Session Trail.

Clyne, Arnold and Shostokovich at West Road Concert Hall
2026-02-07 - 2026-02-08 | West Road Concert Hall, 11 West Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB3 9DP, United Kingdom
Anna Clyne is one of today’s foremost contemporary composers; in 2013, her concert overture ‘Masquerade’ opened the last night of the Proms. Inspired by 18th century concerts in London pleasure gardens, involving dancers, acrobats, street entertainers and masquerades, the piece evokes a sense of fun and celebration.
Reuben Anelay will perform Malcolm Arnold’s Trumpet Concerto. Arnold began his professional life as principal trumpet in the Philharmonia orchestra, so it is no surprise that this compact concerto shows off the instrument brilliantly, from fanfares to wistful melodies to virtuoso fireworks, all in the space of 12 minutes.
On 22 June 1941, Germany invaded Russia. Shostakovich was turned down for military service because of his poor eyesight, which meant he could begin work on his 7th Symphony. Working frantically, even throughout the siege of Leningrad, he completed it in under six months. Smuggled out of Russia on microfilm, the symphony became a propaganda piece for the Allies; its extraordinary emotional power and the circumstances of its composition make it one of the most significant works of the 20th century.
Performers – Robert Hodge – Conductor/ Philippa Barton – Leader/ Reuben Anelay – Trumpet

Noel Coward's Private Lives
2026-02-11 - 2026-02-15 | ADC Theatre, Park Street, Cambridge, CB5 8AS
Elyot and Amanda are happily married; just not to each other. Five years after their tempestuous divorce, they find themselves in adjoining hotel suites on their honeymoons with their new, significantly younger spouses, Sibyl and Victor.
The setup is a recipe for disaster: Elyot and Amanda’s three-year marriage was as passionate as it was explosive, ending in tragedy. Now, their unsuspecting new partners, already uneasy about their spouses’ pasts, find themselves caught in the crossfire.
Beneath the haze of cigarette smoke, the sparkle of champagne, and its razor-sharp wit, Private Lives charts the thin line between love and hate, pleasure and pain. Noël Coward’s classic comedy of manners remains as dazzling, biting, and absurdly relatable as ever: a portrait of two people who can’t live with or without each other.
This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Nightly performances at 7.45 pm with a matinee at 2.30 on the Saturday
Tickets – £10.00 to £17.50

Michael Portillo - A Life of Two Halves
2026-02-23 - 2026-02-24 | Cambridge Corn Exchange, 2 Wheeler Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB2 3QB, United Kingdom
Secretary of State. Traveller. TV superstar. The inimitable Michael Portillo joins us live on stage to share funny, insightful, and poignant stories from his extraordinarily rich and varied life.
The son of a refugee who rose to become one of Britain’s leading politicians and best loved broadcasters, Michael Portillo’s life has been a game of two halves. As a statesman he served under Margaret Thatcher, ran for the leadership of the Conservative Party, and lost his seat in one of the most famous moments in British political history, only to become one of the nation’s favourite broadcasters, sparring with Diane Abbott and Andrew O’Neill and enthralling millions of us with his travels on the world’s greatest railways.
In this unique stage show, Michael will share his life story, from his late father’s experiences of the Spanish Civil War and escape to England, where he and Michael’s mother met while looking after refugee children, all the way to his present-day adventures travelling across Spain, the USA, India, and beyond.
We’ll hear Michael’s funny and insightful observations about his old boss Margaret Thatcher and his reflections on the decay of political power. He’ll tell us about his break into TV – including the time he became a single mum… And, of course, we’ll hear about the great railway journeys he has undertaken and what they can tell us about the history and state of the world today.
Whether you are passionate about politics or a fan of Michael’s many international adventures, this is an unmissable treat. All aboard!
Time – 19:30
Cost – £33.00 – £47.99 (Including booking fee)

Little Women
2026-03-03 - 2026-03-08 | ADC Theatre, Park Street, Cambridge, CB5 8AS
“I’ve had a lot of troubles, so I write jolly tales” – Louisa May Alcott
Is art a way for us to conjure back what has been lost? Emma Reeve’s adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s story of family, growing up and survival brings this question into focus, told through the day-to-day triumphs and tribulations of the March family. It is a question that Alcott grapples with in her semi-autobiographical novel, which was written in the wake of her sister’s death. In writing about a family based on her own, Alcott brings back to life the memories of her sister, their childhood, and a time when dreams would become realities – all that was now gone.
A one hundred-and-fifty-year-old story, Little Women, begins in the middle of things, centred around four sisters and their mother in New England during the American Civil War. The home becomes its own battlefield of survival as the women navigate the complexities and perennial conflicts intrinsic to families, finances, love and growing up. As time goes on, childhood gives way to adulthood as life is transformed, with much lost and gained in the process.
Times – Nightly performances at 7.45 pm with a matinee at 2.30 pm on Satuarday.
Tickets – £10.00 to £17.50
