A hidden gem
in the heart of
the city
A basement bar and performance venue with a mission of fostering, encouraging, and promoting creativity and culture in the heart of Cambridge.
The start of something great
Inspired by what originated in the basement of the Cambridge Union in the 1960’s as the Cambridge Footlights, one of Britain’s oldest student sketch comedy groups, The Footlight Cellars aims to provide a space for creative minds to meet and collaborate.
