Current Events

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. 

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.
