Overview
If you fancy finding out how the likes of actors Sir Ian McKellen, Emma Thompson, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, to name but a few, came to get the performing bug, then book a show at the ADC. This pretty, white- and blue-washed period building, a few minutes’ walk from the city centre, has hosted the university’s Amateur Dramatic Club (ADC) since the late 1800s. The club itself was formed in 1855. Shows are a superb mix of comedy sketches, stand-up and satire

About the area
To the west of East Anglia is Cambridgeshire, a county best known as the home to the university that makes up the second half of ‘Oxbridge’ (the other half is Oxford). As well as its globally renowned educational credentials, it also has a rich natural history; much of its area is made up of reclaimed or untouched fens.
