SATURDAY 20 SEPTEMBER IS 1618 DAY AT THE WHIPPLE!
In honour of our beautiful Jacobean building, originally Cambridge’s Free School, we’re exploring everything 17th-century, from historic scientific instruments to the secrets of our building. We’re open all day with family activities, curator talks and behind-the-scenes tours.
