Busy months in Cambridge for art lovers – visit Cambridge Art Fair 25th-27th June with free complementary tickets to our members, and then enjoy meeting Cambridge artists in their studios through all July.

The craftspeople and artists of the Cambridge region open their workshops and homes to the public each year, in order to show people just how they create their work and the concepts behind each piece they have made. Cambridge Open Studios has become such a unique experience precisely due to this interaction.
