This year we are working with the Cambridge Student Union to provide event ticketing. When you first book a ticket with us you will be asked to Register ( Please use the Log In Button- Staff & Guest - Found on the page at Top Right). This will enable you to register for an account.
Previously with Eventbrite, you had to enter to enter your name and email details with every booking. The great thing with this new booking system, is that you only have to do so once. What's more, you can add all your events to your basket and then check out one!
Please note: Due to the industrial action recently announced by the University and College Union, some Festival events may be cancelled or postponed at short notice. Please check event pages on our website for the latest information.
If you have booked a ticket for an event that is latter cancelled, we shall email you to let you know.
We want to continue to enable people to feel comfortable attending our Festival events.
At many venues we will have slightly reduced capacities at events.
Face coverings
In the interest of minimising the risk of local transmission, and out of consideration for others, we still encourage Festival visitors to continue using face coverings in public University spaces.
Each event is organised slightly differently. Please read the instructions on the event page. Some events may require pre-booking. Others do not. If an organisers contact details are on the event page, please contact the event organiser with any questions directly. If there are no organiser details on the event page, contact the Festival team for assistance, being sure to reference the title of the specific event in question.
If the event says that booking is unavailable this mean the event is a drop-in and there is no need to book.
You can use our event search filters or you can use the search function for keywords like history, engineering or climate change.
There are different levels of access for different events, depending on what each event organiser is able to offer. Accessibility information for each event is specified in the top right of each event page. Many video-based events offer subtitling/closed captions or transcripts. If an event’s accessibility isn’t specified, please contact the event organiser as detailed on the event page. If there are no organiser details on the event page, contact the Festival team for assistance, being sure to reference the title of the specific event in question.
We will not be able to admit you to a venue if you arrive ten minutes late. This is to avoid ongoing disruption to the event taking place.
At some festival sites, including those taking place at the New Museums Site, there may be other activities you can still join. Please ask a member of staff.
In some instances, you may be unable to access a platform due to the web browser you are using. If you have one available, we recommend using an alternative browser (Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc..) If your problem still persist please contact the listed organiser of that event or if no details are listed, contact the Festival team.
Please be patient with us. Live- streamed events may start slightly late, to enable the organiser to ensure all participants are ready to begin.
Many events are available on demand following the event. This will be indicated in the festival programme on our website. If available on demand, simply follow the web link provided. It is also likely that if you have booked/registered for the event that you will recieve an email to notify you of this.
