CULTURE CLUB
The Snail and the Whale Based on the picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, The Snail and the Whale carries the message that anyone can accomplish great things, no matter how small they are. From 31 August to 3 September, the story will be brought to life through magical storytelling, breathtaking visuals and live music, taking you along on the journey of a tiny snail and its companion – a humpback whale – as they explore the world around them. With showings running daily, and multiple performances on 1, 2 and 3 September, there are plenty of options. All tickets are £16 (plus a £3 booking fee), and there are options for relaxed performances suited to those with additional needs.

CAMBRIDGE CONTEMPORARY CHOIR FESTIVAL
Running all day on Saturday 12 August at the Corn Exchange, the Cambridge Contemporary Choir Festival will offer a full day of workshops to choose between, for anyone who loves to sing and is keen to use their voice. The interactive workshops will be led by professional vocal coaches, and each will follow a different genre, from rock to musical theatre. Vocal groups from the local area will be hosting pop-up performances throughout the venue, and the day will end with four choir groups: Sweet Charity Choir, London Show Choir, The Collaboration Choir and Sons of Pitches. Tickets for each workshop start at £11 per adult and £6 per under-18, while tickets to the evening performance range from £11 to £22 depending on the seat. Links to buy tickets can be found at the what’s on section of the Cambridge Live website, along with further information about the event.
