Seasons Greetings
2023-12-05 - 2023-12-10 | ADC Theatre, Park Street, Cambridge, CB5 8AS
When families get together there’s always a chance of chaos – particularly if you happen to be trapped for several days with all your relatives and copious amounts of alcohol.
Neville and Belinda are hosting a long Christmas weekend. Among the guests are two demanding uncles – Bernard, whose ham-fisted annual puppet shows are a source of dread to young and old alike, and obstinate TV addict Harvey. Add in the broken toys, disappointing gifts, creaking marriages and a tryst under the Christmas tree and the inevitable, and all too familiar, mayhem is quickly unleashed.
This production is recommended for ages 8 and over.
Nightly performances at 7.45 pm with a matinee at 2.30 pm on Saturday.
Tickets – £11.50 to £17.00

Christmas Trail at Wimpole Estate
2023-11-24 - 2024-01-01 | Wimpole Estate, Arrington, Royston, SG8 0BW
A dazzling array of new installations will transform Sony Music’s magical illuminated trail Christmas at Wimpole when it returns to the National Trust’s Wimpole Estate for a fourth year between Friday, 24 November and Sunday, 31 December.
The spectacular route will have many new features for 2023, providing after-dark festive fun for all the family at the beautiful Cambridgeshire property, which was bequeathed to the National Trust by Rudyard Kipling’s daughter in the 1970s.
Among a host of other new installations for 2023 is Crystal Garden, by Output Arts, comprising clusters of glowing shards which sparkle and shimmer to create an enchanting display.
Studio Vertigo are displaying Nova and The Ghosts, the latter of which is built from natural recycled polypropylene, with structural elements created using folding techniques found in origami. Pyrite Creative’s Light as a Feather is a series of steel feathers painted to glow in the dark, twisting and turning gracefully as though lifted by a sudden gust of wind.
There’ll also be a chance to glimpse Father Christmas along the trail, enabling everlasting memories to be made with loved ones, family and friends.
Open from 4.30pm, last entry 8pm (7pm on Dec 24, 26, 30, 31)
Closed 27, 28, 29 November and 4, 5, 25 December
