Booking
There are a number of individual options scheduled as part of the Cambridge University Open Days and booking can appear confusing. You will be asked to book for many of the events on offer, for example: the central Cambridge University admissions events, College Open Days and other department open days.
It is perfectly okay to just turn up to our open afternoons!
Even if you are unsuccessful in booking for other University run events you are still welcome at the Cavendish Open Afternoons.

Travelling to the Cavendish
You can reach the department from the city centre by taking the Citi 4 or Uni 4 buses ( Map and timetable) from opposite Queen's College on silver street. Buses run every ten minutes. For bus timetables, more detailed directions and a map of our location please follow this link.
PARKING for this event is at the PARK AND CYCLE ON CLERK MAXWELL ROAD OFF MADINGLEY ROAD. This will be signed from Madingley Road both from the M11 and Town directions.
