The 2024 Cambridge Festival will featured two days of exciting and FREE talks, workshops and hands-on activities for school students (KS2 and KS3) in West Cambridge.
Schools could book for one, two or all three of our main talks alongside a whole host of other exciting workshops!
Charlie Gilderdale and Liz Woodham from the NRICH team will invite students to work together on some of their favourite mathematical problems.
Join Dante McGrath and Yashasvi Raj from the Centre for Climate Repair for a fun and educational session, where you can discover how to protect the Earth from global warming.
What happens if you throw someone into a black hole? Could you crash the Moon into the Earth? Everything you ever wanted to know about space (but were so very afraid to ask) awaits.

Bookings are now closed.
Main talks and workshops must be booked in advance. Hands-on activities do not need to be booked in advance and are designed as filler activities for those who are attending other talks and workshops. You must book at least one activity to access the site. You cannot just attend hands-on activities.
Please allow yourself enough time to get from one activity to another. You can find practical information about the day in our Teachers’ Pack, including other ideas of what to do while on a visit to Cambridge.
If you'd like more information about our free schools' days, including updates of additional workshops, museums to visit and more please sign up to our mailing list.
