A small museum, with a big story to share
Legacies of Windrush in Cambridge is the first exhibition of its kind, shining a light on the lives and experiences of the Caribbean Windrush community and those who left an indelible mark on Cambridge and the UK.
Join us for our programme of FREE storytelling and activities every two weeks for families with children aged 1-5.
Be welcomed into the Museum’s purpose-built event space, the Enid Porter Room, with complementary tea and coffee, before entering our 16th-century building to explore the objects on display with some storytelling.
Then return to the Enid Porter Room for a sensory activity related to the story you heard.
