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. 

The Trinity College Clock dates from 1610 and is housed in one of Trinity’s oldest buildings, King Edward’s Gate also known as the Clock Tower. Join us to wind the clock and to explore its history.

Around the World with Women Writers is a participant-led lively and friendly international forum for those who are interested in women writers from around the world.

Simone invites you to join her for a leisurely walk. The walks are during the weekend for about an hour and a half. These will be informal walks,  when pushchairs and children are welcome too: stroll along with new friends and enjoy the time together.

UniCam Babies is a parent led group for NVS members and their young children. A great opportunity to meet other mums and dads and share experiences, discuss child growth and development.  Refer to your weekly newsletter or email us at enquiries@nvs.admin.cam.ac.uk for location information.

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.

Our Coffee Hour is the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow members, meet our dedicated volunteers, and chat with group leaders in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Whether you're new to NVS or a long-time member, this is a great way to socialise, share experiences, and learn more about our community.

Late Victorian Cambridge was a very unruly place, and the undergraduates could sometimes seem beyond any sort of control.  This talk is about a series of enormous celebratory bonfires the students lit in Cambridge's market place and their part in a great battle for control of the city's streets.

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.

This event is for registered NVS members only!

This group is for adults. 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. Over time, your drawing skills and confidence will improve.
