Open Cambridge
Discover Cambridge inventions past and present alongside some unmissable tours this September as Open Cambridge welcomes the public once again.
Culture lovers can look forward to the return of Open Cambridge, part of the national Heritage Open Days scheme, which takes place from 9th-18th September and boasts a cracking series of free walks, talks, tours, and online events. The aim is to celebrate the heritage, community and history of one of the world’s most iconic cities.

Discover Cambridge Central Mosque!
Various times, Sat 10th, Sat 17th and Sun 18th September
Guided tours take you from the hustle and bustle of the world famous Mill Road on a transformative voyage… Journey through the garden’s trees, flower beds and fountain, before passing through the portico and atrium, via ablution areas, cleansed and ready to enter the grand prayer hall: an oasis of calm, and the perfect space for spiritual contemplation.
