Mathematics Discovery Day - Cambridge Festival 2026

Mathematics is the language of the universe, and Cambridge mathematicians, statisticians and theoretical physicists work on everything from number theory and geometry to the Big Bang and AI.

Join volunteer staff and students from the University of Cambridge Mathematics Faculty for hands-on activities, pop-up explorations and demonstrations to discover the excitement of mathematics and the mathematical sciences. 

This free public event is part of the 2026 Cambridge Festival. No need to book – drop in throughout the afternoon. 

Suitable for ages 8+ years through to adult. 

The Maths Cafe will be open throughout the afternoon, serving hot and cold drinks, snacks and sandwiches.
