Music In The Parks

One of the city’s favourite summer traditions makes a welcome return in June when Music in the Parks begins, celebrating the season in musical style in some of Cambridge’s beautiful green open spaces.

The six-concert series is free and open to all, taking place on selected Sunday afternoons between 3-5pm from June until September. 

The series of six free concerts offers a mix of music, all perfect for a sunny Sunday afternoon. From the infectious ska rhythms of Cambridge’s mighty Big 10, performing their now traditional Jesus Green date; funk, soul and blues; uplifting multi-voiced close harmony choral creations; the joyous sound of jazz and swing; the warm strains of traditional brass on a summery breeze plus, as part of Folk in the City, a special folk music themed concert at Cherry Hinton Hall with The Boxwood Chessmen – a semi-acoustic roots style four-piece band from East Anglia and Middlesex, and award winning indie-folk duo Elizabeth and Jameson.

Delicious refreshments will be available to buy from NapolEat Pizza, Aperol van and Cambridge favourite, Jack’s Gelato!

Thank you to Cambridge BID for their generous support.

''Summertime in Cambridge sees the city at its very best! An abundance of beautiful open spaces from historic greens and parks to recreation grounds, help make the city the unique place it is. During these precious summer months, the Music in the Parks concerts are a perfect way to really make the most of them; to enjoy a relaxing time outdoors listening to live music in the company of friends and family.''
