Hacker & Maker Events in Cambridge
This is the culture-heavy corner of the European tech event calendar: hackerspaces, community congresses, outdoor hacker camps, and the maker-faire circuit. It traces a lineage back to the Chaos Computer Club and has grown into one of Europe's most distinctive community-event traditions. Equivalents exist elsewhere in the world, but few are as long-running or as well-attended as the European ones.
This page narrows the Cambridge calendar to Hacker & Maker events. It's a subset of United Kingdom's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.

Retro Computer Festival 2026 (Space Edition)
Cambridge, 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
This year's retro computer festival is on 14th November.
Tickets normally sell out so I'd recommend buying an advance. There are normally some tickets available on the door but they are only released when there's space and you may have to wait outside for other people to leave.
