Back by popular demand in 2026, and continuing our 150 Anniversary celebrations, join us again in half-term on Monday 16 February for the return of our Community Open Day.

  • 16th February 2026 - 17th February 2026
  • 11:00 am - 5:00 pm

Last year’s Open Day saw over 1000 visitors through our door to experience everything this venue has to offer for our local communities. Back by popular demand in 2026, and continuing our 150 Anniversary celebrations, join us again in half-term on Monday 16 February for the return of our Community Open Day.

This free event invites families to step inside one of Cambridge’s most treasured venues to explore life behind the scenes, find out about the Corn Exchange’s vibrant history by visiting our temporary exhibition, and get creative through a range of free children’s activities, live performances, and unique experiences for everyone to enjoy.

The day’s full programme including advance bookable workshops will be announced in the new year and can be found on the Corn Exchange website.

Bringing the river to life in raucous style each June, ‘The Bumps’ are a chaotic series of rowing races. In this Cambridge tradition, which dates back to the early 19th Century, boats set out in single file and must catch and touch, or ‘bump’, the boat ahead without being caught by the rowers on their tail.
