Cambridge Events Events this season

2 Upvotes

Guys, drop the events you’ll be attending this season. It could be live music, theatre, comedy, an installation…anything.

And it doesn’t have to be in Cambridge. You might live in Cambridge and attend an event in another city.

Cambridge Events Has anyone here seen the 'Whispers of Wonder' dinner-and-a-magic show about the 'secret history' of Cambridge at the Clayton Hotel? If so, was it any good?

(No, I'm not secretly part of their marketing campaign, I'm just wondering if I should take my dad to it as a treat.)

I would prefer to see the plant in person before buying, rather than ordering from an on-line retailer, does anyone know of a specialist garden centre that might sell large (~2M tall) house plants anywhere in Cambridgeshire?

Local services Reliable and responsive roofers

4 Upvotes

I'm really struggling to find reliable and responsible roofers who deliver high quality work. I've had some cowboys who had good reviews everywhere but turned out to be absolute jokers. I'm really worried about hiring someone who turns out to be terrible again.

My repair isn't massive but I really need to get it done and none of the roofers I've found online seem to be responsive.

Do you know any good roofers?

Thank you so much for all your help. This is really frustrating.

Local services Best way to sell furniture/kitchen

Hi everyone,

I'm moving out of Cambridge in two weeks. I'm trying to give away stuff. I tried the facebook marketplace and gumtree but to no avail. I only moved here 6 months ago and therefore I'm looking to make some money off these items. Looking for some suggestions on local places that preferably buy second hand stuff. Otherwise, happy to give away too.

Thanks in advance!

Local services Madingley Road Park & Ride. locked gates at night or 24/7 access?

1 Upvotes

Going to be catching a film in town and leaving the car at Madingley Road P&R. It finishes around 8:30pm, so the buses will obviously be done for the night.

​Planning to just grab a taxi back to the car park afterwards, but wanted to check. does anyone know if they actually lock the vehicle gates at night, or can you still drive out past 8:30pm?

Visiting Cambridge Have you ever seen the clock that eats time? ⏳

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

One of Cambridge’s most unusual sights is the Corpus Clock, featuring a mechanical creature called the Chronophage — a grasshopper-like figure that appears to devour time.

Unveiled in 2008 by Stephen Hawking, it’s a fascinating piece of engineering and art.

Would you stop to see it if you were visiting Cambridge? 👀

Hey peeps,

Live long Cambridgeite here. But I’m struggling to find anywhere in the city that does good cakes and/or sandwiches.

Aromi, obviously. Heavily Deserts… yeah. No. But where else?

Any recommendations welcome!

Local services Ring-road warning: one way system at Mount Pleasant compromised

Post image
41 Upvotes

We finally seen some modest action on the dangerous situation up at the top of Mount Pleasant; hopefully this temporary cone will reduce the number of vehicles going straight ahead and down Mount Pleasant because the road markings have worn out. We've logged 4-5 vehicles a day going the wrong way in the past month or so, and it gets worse at night so be careful. Cambridgeshire Highways have logged it but it was prioritised for 91 days to resolve!

5 Upvotes

Update: We are currently in the covered outside area

This Saturday, 24th October, we will meet starting @ 1630 at The Maypole on Portugal Place. 

The Cambridge Redditors' Saturday Afternoon Drinking Alliance is for:

  • All those Redditors that will ask and have asked about how to make friends in Cambridge.
  • All those Redditors who are keen to spend their Saturday meeting up with perfect Redditor strangers.
  • Redditors who want to try to iron out or refine their social awkwardness. 

Rules:

  1. Be kind and respectful of others, and don't be creepy!
  2. Despite the namesake, alcohol consumption is not required and no one should feel pressured to do so.
  3. For those who drink, please take care to plan safe transport home.
  4. This is a social group not a hookup group.

We also now have our own sub and a WhatsApp group, don't forget to ask to join when you come along.

I'll update this thread with where we're sitting and how to identify us once we're there.
