Join us this August, as festival performance artists bring fantastical worlds of colour, imagination and humour to Cambridge’s historic streets, entertaining and amazing everyone as they go! This summer Out of The Ordinary will be bigger still. As well as taking place on the city centre streets, there’s also lots to enjoy on Christ’s Pieces near the bus station, where people can relax, eat and drink and watch fantastic performance artists. There will be extraordinary performances including spectacular aerial theatre, visual comedy shows, music and dance as well as wellbeing activities as well as some fantastic local food vendors.
