Cambridge Busker's and Street Performer's Festival came back in June 2025 to run the Cambridge Buskers Festival in 12 city venues and raised over £8,000 to help put on Strawberry Fair 2026!

And, this year, Strawberry Fair is back!

So, huge thanks to all those that took part and helped run the Cambridge Buskers Festival last year for your contribution!

This of course also means, the Cambuskers Showcase Stage at the Fair is back as well!

Strawberry Fair 2026 will be held on Saturday June 6th on Midsummer Common in Cambridge. The Cambuskers Stage at the fair will open for applications from acts to play from midnight on Sunday 5th April and close at 6pm Monday 27th April.

As always, most slots will be 20 minutes long with a 10 minute change-over time, but there will also be some open mic style 10 minute slots for performers to rock up and book on the day itself.

The Stage will open at 12:30 at Strawberry Fair on the 6th June and the last performance will start at 21:00 before it gets dark. This will allow approximately 20 performance slots throughout the day.

Cambuskers also hope to hold another event later in the year, so watch this space.....!

The aim of the Cambuskers Community Group is to celebrate and embrace all the talent and culture we have in the city and to highlight the Street Performers Code of Practice throughout the festival. This code of conduct aims to ensure that businesses, residents and visitors can enjoy a time honoured tradition which goes back to medieval times, when wandering minstrels and bards travelled from place to place and acted not only as entertainers, but also as news reporters and message bearers.

Cambuskers bring music and dance to the streets of Cambridge and Strawberry Fair!
