Willow Weaving Workshop
2026-07-25 | Cambridge Corn Exchange, 2 Wheeler Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB2 3QB, United Kingdom
Come along to the Cambridge Corn Exchange Foyer for a morning of Willow Weaving led by Willow Phoenix.
Willow Phoenix is a sustainable willow business, based at Abbey Yard, West Acre. They offer willow courses and tuition in basketry, sculpture and land art.
Their mission is to teach as many folk as possible about this beautiful, generous tree and all the amazing things you can make with it’s help.
Weaving is a slow, mindful activity which lowers cortisol and releases serotonin. This all helps to calm us down and feel generally better about the world. You can’t worry and weave. Using natural materials is a feast for the senses and counts as green exercise, which improves mood, self-esteem and ‘connection to nature’.
During the workshop you will have the opportunity to make a decorative willow flower. The centre of the flower is also the same method as making a basket base. So you will have learned some basketry too. Take home your makes and you flower will look great inside or out.
Alternative, you could try your hand at making a Willow Wind Spinner. By fixing two spirals together to make a double helix pattern, you will create a spinning willow decoration.
Take home your makes. All tools and materials will be provided
Tickets – Adults – £11.50/ Children – £6.50

Upon his death in 1966, the house, gardens and collection were handed over to the National Trust to be enjoyed by the public.
This summer’s exhibition looks at Lord Fairhaven’s love of collecting, the treasures accumulated during his four decades at Anglesey Abbey, and his vision for the legacy he left behind: ‘My thought and hope is that in a changing world the house, its furniture and the gardens and their lay-out should be preserved and kept representative of an age and a way of life that is quickly passing’
This exhibition is free for National Trust members and included in an admission ticket for visitors.

Abigail's Party
2026-08-03 - 2026-08-07 | Cambridge Arts Theatre, 6 St Edward's Passage, Cambridge , Cambridgeshire, CB2 3PJ, United Kingdom
Tamzin Outhwaite stars as one of the most iconic characters in British theatre – the unforgettable Beverly in Mike Leigh’s ferocious black comedy of suburban life in the 1970s.
Essex, 1977. Beverly is hosting, the alcohol is flowing, Demis Roussos is on the record player and the cheese and pineapple cocktail sticks are ready to go. Queen of the castle in her suburban semi, Beverly and husband Laurence welcome new neighbours Angela and Tony round for drinks. Sue from next door is invited too but the real party is happening back at her place, as Sue’s teenage daughter Abigail can’t seem to keep the racket down. Awkward small talk quickly descends into inappropriate flirtation and marital disputes: a soiree from hell, but it’d be rude to leave…
Mike Leigh’s razor-sharp portrait of social class, materialism and sexual tension in 1970s England is an unmissable modern classic.
Tamzin Outhwaite, much-loved from her television roles including EastEnders, Red Cap, Hotel Babylon and New Tricks, leads the cast in this revival of the Stratford East production which received stellar reviews during a sold out run in 2024.
