Cambridge Festival

Cambridge Festival 2021

Unfortunately, due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19, no in-person events will be taking place. However, an online event will take place on Saturday 3rd April and several Physics-related events are happening in the weeks before. See below for details.

Activities are also available as part of the Project Moonbase programme in the Festival Zine.
