Thank you for joining us for Summer at the Museums 2025!

24 July to 31 August 2025

Over the summer, museums in Cambridgeshire held a packed calendar of over 110 family-friendly events designed to spark your imagination, explore big topics and help you enjoy time together. 

Among the many sessions on offer, families joined us to go on a twilight bat patrol, ‘meet’ famous fossil hunter Mary Anning, learn about mummification in Ancient Egypt, create their own artworks, experience hands-on science, and much more.

We had a brilliant time with you.
