Britain's What's On Event Guide
1618 Day
Heritage Open Day: Find out more about 1618, the year work began on the Whipple Museum's beautiful Jacobean building. The Whipple Museum was established in 1944, but our building dates back to 1618, when it was built as the first Cambridge Free School. Come and admire the original Jacobean roof, find out more about the history of the building and its surroundings, and explore 17th-century scientific instruments. The day will include family activities, curator talks, behind the scenes tours and a chance to explore the history of Free School Lane and the New Museums site.
