Strawberry Fair
Strawberry Fair is Cambridge’s one-day celebration of music, arts, people and pure festival magic. Since 1974, over 30,000 people each year come together to enjoy a colourful celebration of creativity and community, bringing together performers, artists, families, friends and free spirits for one unforgettable day. Strawberry Fair returns for its 51st year and it's sure to be out of this world.

✅Help the site team with the pre-festival build. We'll be lifting, shifting and erecting a lot of 2m heras fencing. Note - this is a very physical task

Strawberry Fair 🍓

Strawberry Fair has been providing a free event on Midsummer Common in Cambridge since 1974. It is the UK’s largest volunteer-run, free festival and remains independent and not-for-profit, funded by traders, donations, and year-round fundraising. It exists for the benefit of the local community, and that principle shapes everything from programming to welfare and access.

We are committed to protecting Midsummer Common and reducing our environmental impact. There’s only one planet, and we believe every event should play its part in keeping it clean, green, and thriving. From recycling and reuse to reducing festival waste, sustainability is built into the way we plan, run, and pack down our event. Our goal is simple: to leave Midsummer Common tidier than we found it and create a greener festival experience for everyone.
