We run and support a variety of free events and activities for local communities every summer.
In 2023 we ran sports sessions, music concerts, family activities and more. We have begun organising this year’s events, so keep checking this page for details.
Armed Forces Day Military Fair
Armed Forces Day is on Saturday 29 June. The city’s first Armed Forces Day Military Fair will take place on Parker’s Piece from 11am to 5pm.
The event is open to everyone wanting to celebrate and find out more about the armed forces. Events and activities will include re-enactments, a fly-by, and a marching band.
The event is being organised by the Cambridge Armed Forces and Veterans Breakfast Club and the Cambridge Veterans Club. We and local businesses are supporting it.
Active Family sports and activity sessions
Join us with your family and friends every Tuesday in the summer holiday for free, fun activities.
Local clubs will lead sessions of archery, dance, orienteering, skating, and much more. Or you can make your own fun in the family play zone. There will be something for people of all abilities. We’ll be available to provide information about how to get active.
All events run from 10am to 2pm. We recommend you wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and bring water, snacks and a picnic blanket.
