About Open House

Open House is a long-term collaboration between Kettle’s Yard and our neighbouring communities in North Cambridge.

Open House welcomes an Artist in Residence each year, selected by the community, to explore the local area, collaborate with local residents and create new artwork together.

Enjoy a special Saturday opening highlighting centuries of toys and fun for children. Co-hosted with the Whipple Library, play with our museum handling objects and enjoy quirky Victorian children's books from our special collections.
