Join us to celebrate 20 years of Twilight

16-22 February 2026

Explore Cambridge museums after hours this February half term. 

Museums across the city will be opening their doors and turning the lights down low for a fun-filled evening of torchlit trails, hands-on activities, crafts, storytelling, and more. See which venues are taking part below.

Stay tuned for a special social media competition to mark 20 years of after-hours adventures for families.

The full events programme and bookings will launch in the middle of January. To stay up to date and hear when the programme launches, sign up to the Twilight newsletter.
