SUMMARY:Celebrating Together: New Exhibition Launches in December
DESCRIPTION:CELEBRATING TOGETHER \nThere’s so much to look forward to this winter season\, and something you should definitely start getting excited bout\, is our new seasonal exhibition\, Celebrating Together\, which is launching on December 2nd and stays on until January 10th. \nFor many of us winter is a time of celebration\, whether you do Hanukkah\, Christmas\, Kwanzaa\, New Year\, something completely different or nothing at all! It is generally a time to spend indoors cooking and sharing food\, making crafts and playing games\, and thinking about the year gone by and the one right ahead while it freezes outside. And this is exactly what we wanted to capture with this exhibition. \nWhat’s especial about this exhibition? I hear you ask. Not to give away too much before you experience it yourself\, but there’s so much to look forward to when you visit: \n\nWe are exhibiting more than 10 objects not seen in our permanent displays in years\, such as vintage toys and seasonal cards\, as well as some quirky old decorations.\nWithin the exhibition there are 4 instances in which you can participate and add your contribution to the current displays by writing\, drawing\, and taking fun pictures. Oh and did we say there’s a prize to be won?\nThis exhibition includes some of the voices of people just like you that have shared their stories of celebration for everyone to enjoy.\n\nCome on then\, put on some warm clothes and come to the museum to share the festive spirit with us. \n\nWe visited Cambridge Central Mosque to record a story of celebration of Eid \n \nWe attended a parent group in Arbury\, getting creative and festive whilst we listened to how families celebrate. \n*Please check opening times on our website before visiting us.

SUMMARY:Hidden Cambridge Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Journey through the streets of Hidden Cambridge \nThis Hidden Cambridge tour is for all those who have always meant to explore the side streets and alleyways of this historic city but never quite had the time\, as well as for visitors who want to discover more of Cambridge beyond King’s Parade. \nDiscover the heart of the ancient city\, some of the hidden nooks and crannies you’ve never noticed before around the river crossing and quayside area – traces of the Roman settlement\, the Norman castle\, the Saxon and Viking trading centre and the medieval town. Hear stories of beer\, brothels and boatmen!  \nQualified Blue Badge Guides will share their extensive knowledge of the local area – you won’t find these stories in the guidebooks! \nThe tour is subject to COVID-19 regulations in place at the time\, and the groups will be small and conducted in a safe way. For booking click here.  \nThe tours meet the first Sunday of the month\, at 10.30am outside the Round Church on Bridge Street. Each tour lasts about 90 minutes and the cost of £15 a head includes a free one-time admission to the Museum of Cambridge. All proceeds go towards supporting the Museum. \nThis small\, independent museum\, located in the former White Horse Inn\, has a big story to share. Suffused with the history of the local people of Cambridge\, it contains an eclectic collection of everyday objects used in day-to-day life\, from vacuum cleaners and washing machines to false teeth and mantraps! \nOpening times are limited currently\, check the web site for up to date hours. This tour is organised and run by Hidden Cambridge\, for further details contact Hidden.Cambridge@gmail.com.  \n The Museum of Cambridge is hugely thankful to the generous support of the Blue Badge Guides who give up their time to offer these tours. \nFeatured photo by Bob Wheatley The Round ChurchPortugal PlaceThrough the Door of St Peter’sThe Hawks’ Club
