Cambridge Arts Festival 2026 - 9–18 February 2026
We’re thrilled to announce the return of the Cambridge Arts Festivalfor its 3rd year! Delivered by Cambridge BID, the festival will once again shine a spotlight on the extraordinary creativity and talent that make our city so special.
This year’s programme promises something for everyone — from exhibitions and workshops to hands-on activities and family-friendly fun, in venues across the city. Staying true to our ethos, most of the programme will be free to attend, making art accessible for all.
As the exceptionally dry weather continues across the region and Cambridge enters a period of drought, Cambridge City Council is making temporary changes to the way some street cleansing services are delivered to help reduce water usage while continuing to maintain a clean and welcoming city centre.
