About this Event
📸 The Cambridge Photography Show 2026
Back for Another Year — Because It Just Works
The Cambridge Photography Show returns for 2026, continuing its evolution after a hugely successful first year in its new venue. What started as a local photography event has grown into a must-attend date for photographers, filmmakers, and creators across the region — and 2026 is set to raise the bar once again.
This isn’t our first show — and it’s certainly not our first time doing this right. Each year builds on the last, shaped by community feedback, better experiences, and a shared love of photography.
📆 Cambridge Photography Month — Year Two
Photography Month is officially back for its second year.
After the success of its debut, Cambridge Photography Month returns bigger, broader, and more ambitious — transforming October into a full celebration of photography. Expect a packed calendar of talks, workshops, walks, panels, and hands-on experiences designed for photographers of all skill levels.
One month. One city. Endless inspiration.
