Cambridge Festival Of Ideas

Fancy exploring the gothic world of Marcus Sedgwick, joining CBBC’s Ed Petrie for a spot of stand-up comedy, hearing about zombie thrillers with Charlie Higson or learning to draw with Nick Sharratt? Of course you do, so come along the Cambridge Festival of Ideas and take part in a host of amazing free activities! As well as talks and workshops by well-known faces, there are loads of things to see and do, including amazing dance displays from around the world, a prehistory day where you get to live like a caveman, drumming workshops and circus skills sessions. If you’re feeling creative, there are classes showing you how to create decorative flower hair clips, how to make lace and even how to create your own Egyptian masks. The Festival is on now and runs until October 30, but Saturday is the designated Family Day. For a programme, call (01223) 766766 or visit: www.cambridgefestivalofideas.org.
