Summer In The City

Chill out in Cambridge this summer!

Summer in the City 2008

The sun's shining, the skies are blue and all's well with the world, so it must be time to get excited about a summer packed full of fabulous events, taking place throughout Cambridge. What's more, most of the events are free!

The Big Weekend - it was big. It was a whole weekend. You've missed it... but here's a gallery just in case we caught YOU on camera...

Jazz and Brass in the Park, Jesus Green, Cambridge, various Sundays until 10th August.

Free music from 3pm - 5pm. Bring a picnic and wile away a sunny summer Sunday:

Sunday 20 July, Opus 17 Swing Band; Sunday 27 July, Rosie Val & The Cambridge Jazz Co; Sunday 10 August, Jazz-Beens Dixieland Jazz Band.

A cheeky, chuckling, happy dog!

Comedy Marquee - it'll kill ya!

The Comedy Marquee Club, Jesus Green, Cambridge, Tuesday 5th to Sunday 10th August

Some of the finest stand-up comedians in the country will have you rolling around in the aisles of the air conditioned marquee. There's food and a bar, but it's the belly laughs that will get you falling off your chair (hopefully) - not the beer!

There are too many acts to list here, but the full line-up is available on the Summer in the City website. Be warned - this one usually sells out fast!

Children’s Theatre Marquee, Jesus Green, Cambridge, Thursday 7th to Sunday 10th August

Theatre fun for kids from 3 – 11 with a morning and afternoon show each day. Shows range from new takes on old favourites such as Aladdin, The Pied Piper and Little Red Riding Hood, to lesser known, more challenging shows for the older children. Details on website link at the foot of this page.

Live Music Marquee, Jesus Green, Cambridge, Monday 11th August to Wednesday 13th August

Three nights of great live music in a summer setting from artists including Geno Washington, The Beat and Ezio. More acts to be confirmed. Check the website for on-going details, bookings etc.
