We run and support a variety of events and activities for local communities every summer.
The summer 2025 events have now all finished. Check back here next year for more fun.
All events are free to attend, although some have limited spaces and must be reserved in advance.
Events are open to all ages and abilities, unless otherwise stated. Children must always be supervised by an adult.
Some events are delivered by our partners, with funding support from our Summer Activity Grants scheme.
Our summer events included:
- Active family events – fun-filled drop-in Tuesday events, and weekly bookable sessions led by local providers. There was sports, dance and wellbeing activities and much more – something for everybody, regardless of age or ability.
- Music in the Parks – Sunday afternoon concerts including jazz, wind, brass and more. Watch the Music in the Parks trailer.
- Folk in the City – a family weekend of free folk music-inspired entertainment at Cherry Hinton Hall.
- Out of the Ordinary festival – artists provided music, dance, physical theatre, visual comedy and aerial displays. Watch the Out of the Ordinary trailer.
- Mayor’s Day Out – annual over-55s event to visit the seaside by coach. This year’s trip was the 40th anniversary of the first event.
