New Wave is a training and development programme focused around working with young adults to develop new, innovative events.

Keep an eye on our social feeds and events newsletter for the latest updates.
Why are we doing this?
Over the years Open Cambridge has evolved from just opening doors to encompassing a wide range of innovative and dynamic community focused events. However, too often we’re still perceived as only being for traditional heritage audiences. New Wave seeks to change that. It aims to enable the delivery of high quality events that push the boundaries of what people expect, widening our appeal to audience groups that we have previously struggled to reach.
