About the ADC

The ADC Theatre is one of the liveliest venues in Cambridge, presenting a varied programme of theatre to suit everyone's tastes.

We are the main theatre space for the University of Cambridge and, as such, we are the venue for much of the student drama which is performed during University term-time. The ADC Theatre provides a space for learning and experimentation, helping to launch the careers of such theatre luminaries as Sir Ian McKellen, Rachel Weiss and Emma Thompson. We also present shows by local drama groups and touring companies and we are the main venue for Cambridge Word Fest.

We usually present a 'mainshow' at 7.45pm Tuesday - Saturday, followed by a 'lateshow' at 11pm, with occasional Saturday matinees. To book tickets for any show, please go to the diary.

Our administration offices are usually open from 11am until 7pm, seven days a week, for general enquiries not relating to bookings, ticket availability, or discounts.
