This festive season, the City has been brought to life with a magical festive atmosphere that delighted residents, visitors, and businesses alike. Cambridge BID delivered a vibrant and distinctive citywide lighting scheme with Field & Lawn, marking the eighth consecutive year of this project. Alongside this, two seasonal launch events.

Cambridge BID delivered a family-friendly Halloween Film & Activity Day at The Grafton, transforming the centre into a lively and welcoming destination for families during the half-term period.

The event featured three free film screenings, face painting and glitter tattoos, and a Halloween window display competition for retailers across the centre.

Cambridge’s creative community is invited to take part in an exciting new event as part of the upcoming Cambridge Arts Festival delivered by Cambridge BID. We’re calling on local and regional artists, makers, and creators of all disciplines to showcase and sell their work at The Art Makers Fair,  a vibrant marketplace celebrating originality, craft, and artistic talent.

We were delighted to welcome around 60 guests to this year’s Cambridge BID Annual General Meeting and Networking Evening. The event provided an opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the past year, share updates from across our projects, and officially launch our refreshed Business Plan for the year ahead.
