2010
Open Cambridge 2010 took place September 10-12 and was an exciting mix of free tours, talks and open access. Families, local residents and community groups explored the architecture, art collections and gardens that lie behind the university, college and city walls.
From the prison letters of acid bath murderer John George Haigh, to the latest laser technology at the £15 million Institute for Manufacturing, Open Cambridge weekend revealed the weird, wonderful and sometimes unexpected treasures found behind doors often closed to the public.
Cambridge City Council part-funded the initiative and the crematorium and Guildhall were both in the programme.
