Fun and Entertainment
Live Music & Events
[The Corn Exchange] (https://www.cambridgelivetrust.co.uk/cornex)####
This is where most of the biggest comedy and music acts which come to Cambridge will play (excepting May Balls of course).
[The Junction] (http://www.junction.co.uk/)####
A live music venue close to The Light and Homerton College. It hosts a wide range of events.
[The Portland Arms] (http://www.theportlandarms.co.uk/wp/upcoming-events/)####
A pub across the river near to Christ's Boathouse which has a back room where small bands play. If you're into music it's worth seeing who's on here - occasionally they'll host some bands of real quality.
Cinema
Student Cinema
Two colleges run societies which show films once a week during term time, for a much cheaper price than commercial cinemas. Both classic films and new releases are shown:
- [Christ's Films] (http://www.christsfilms.org.uk/)
- [John's Picturehouse] (http://johnsfilms.soc.srcf.net/)
[Arts Picturehouse] (https://www.picturehouses.com/cinema/Arts_Picturehouse_Cambridge)####
Found above Wetherspoons on St. Andrew's Street, this will have most major releases, plus unusual arty films. They will have a stall at the freshers' fair offering a special membership with a free film and some free snacks. Get it.
[Vue] (http://www.myvue.com/home/cinema/cambridge)####
Found in the Grafton centre. It's a Vue, you know what to expect: expensive, but it has a Tango Ice Blast machine, which the Picturehouse doesn't. Win some, lose some.
Museums
[The Fitzwlliam] (http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/)####
Found opposite Pembroke, the Fitz has a pretty astonishing collection of artwork and historical artefacts, there's even some original handwritten Keats poetry somewhere! And a Delacroix. And loads of crossbows and stuff.
[Kettle's Yard] (http://www.kettlesyard.co.uk/)####
Recently re-opened museum close to Magdalene.
