Current Events

"Film Point" is a group designed for film enthusiasts who share a deep love for the world of cinema. The group meets weekly on Wednesday evenings. Following the screening, members will have the unique opportunity to engage in thoughtful and reflective conversations.

Whether you are experienced in crochet, a long-time knitter, or trying it out for the first time, join our group on Thursdays from 10:00-12:00. Everyone is welcome, crochet or knitting is not essential. Most materials will be provided. 

This is an opportunity to visit one of the largest university-owned botanic gardens in the world, at the best time of year. Even if it rains there are several large glasshouses to explore! The Garden covers over 16 hectares and there are more than 8000 different plant species.

Join one of our volunteers as they host you for Afternoon Tea at their home. Experience this very British ritual with other NVS members ​and get to know our volunteers.

 * This is for adults only and not suitable for children.

Come and join us for a visit to one of Cambridge's traditional pubs. There is no need to book, just meet Jonathan Collis outside Great St Mary’s Church, CB2 3PQ, near the Senate House at 18.00. This is a great opportunity to meet others. We look forward to seeing you there!

Come and join us on Tuesday mornings for English conversation practice, where a whole range of different topics will be discussed. We split into small groups and chat informally about various subjects.

The Coffee Hour is a great opportunity to meet other members, our volunteers and group leaders.  There is a children's play area and refreshments will be served. We look forward to welcoming you.

Early in the 20th century, as a community of women researchers was only just emerging at Cambridge, opportunities to be actively involved in field-specific professional organizations were often limited.

Expert tour guides will be taking NVS members on a walking tour of Cambridge on selected dates. The walks will be on Tuesdays after the talk ends and last around an hour. Members will be told which dates and where to meet in the newsletter and our Facebook page.

This group is for adults only. Please bring your favourite sketchbook, or just pencil and paper, and join the Art for All Levels group. Some materials will be available, and there will always be something interesting to draw or paint. Enjoy shared company and ideas.
