About us
CamCreatives: Monthly meetups in Cambridge where creativity matters — with guest speakers, panels, interviews and plenty of conversation.
CamCreatives is a community for anyone with a creative mindset — whether you paint, design, code, write, perform, invent, or simply love new ideas.
Each month we host a relaxed evening with invited guests — artists, designers, technologists, writers, makers, and more. Sometimes it’s a talk, other times an interview or a panel. Whatever the format, you’ll always find inspiration, honest insights, and plenty of time to meet new people over a drink.
When: Third Tuesday of every month
Where: The Blue Moon, Norfolk Street, Cambridge
We’re a welcoming, curious crowd, and new faces join us every month. You won’t be the only newbie, and you don’t need to be a “professional creative” to come along. If you’ve got a story to share or a speaker to suggest, we’d love to hear from you.
CamCreatives is about connection, collaboration, and celebrating the many ways creativity shapes our lives.

New Chances - The art of collaboration with Adam Bridgland
The Blue Moon, 2 Norfolk Street, Cambridge, GBAdam Bridgland makes bold, brightly coloured work about the things we hold on to: seaside breaks, coach trips and the small rituals of British life.
His work hangs in the V&A and the British Museum. It also turns up in projects for companies such as YouTube, Soho House and Ace Hotel.
So which is the real work? Both, it turns out.
Adam will talk about how commissions, partnerships and working with industry have fed back into his own practice instead of pulling against it. He'll also show how someone else's brief can shake loose ideas you'd never have found on your own.
It's an honest look at what collaboration gives, what it asks of you and what it has taught him along the way.

From scientist to cake artist
The Blue Moon, 2 Norfolk Street, Cambridge, GBPaula Cawkill spent years in a lab, with a PhD and a career in the fragrance and flavour industry. Then she swapped the lab coat for an apron, her experiments for recipes and her pipettes for piping bags.
So what happens when a scientist starts baking celebration cakes for a living?
Today, Paula of Cakeolicious creates bespoke cakes from her Cambridge kitchen. Her cakes have marked everything from family birthdays to a retirement for the founder of Hotel Chocolat, an anniversary cake cut by the Duke of Edinburgh, and fifty years of science at the British Antarctic Survey.
So what do spreadsheets, scientific experiments and sugar have in common? Quite a lot as it turns out.
Come along to hear how curiosity, experiments and an eye for detail turn out to be useful in cake design, and what it’s really like to run a business from home.
For curious minds. Free, as ever.
