Thank you for joining us to celebrate 20 years of Twilight!

16-21 February 2026

During February half term, museums across the city opened their doors and turned the lights down low for a fun-filled evening of torchlit trails, hands-on activities, performances, crafts, storytelling, and more. The majority of Twilight events took place on Wednesday 18 February, the closing day of Cambridge Arts Festival.

Check out the Twilight Highlight on our Instagram page to learn more.
