What's on in Pymoor

Cambridgeshire, England

Book clubs, bingo, and the occasional village fête that's surprisingly well organised — Pymoor punches well above its weight for local events, and Cambridgeshire's all the better for it. You'll find everything from craft workshops the kids won't stop asking about to open mic nights that are genuinely worth staying up past nine for. The big listings sites have never heard of half these venues, which is their loss and your gain. Parish council listings, community centre noticeboards, pub websites we've had to zoom in on to read properly — we've checked them all so you don't have to.

Living by the Rule: Contemporary Art and the Medieval Monastery

Living by the Rule: Contemporary Art and the Medieval Monastery A talk by Dr Jessica Barker and Dr Ed Krčma Tuesday 2nd June 7pm This talk will be given by the two curators of a major new exhibition, Living by the Rule: Contemporary Meets Medieval, on view at the Sainsbury Centre, Norwich, 16 May – 4 October 2026. The exhibition and accompanying book explore the structure and priorities of everyday life by putting contemporary conditions in dialogue with a seemingly remote and alien form of life: medieval monasticism, and specifically the Rule of Saint Benedict (6th Century). Ely Cathedral was once a Benedictine monastery, and for the exhibition the curators have been able to loan important objects from its collections: the Ely Cope, and four examples of 14th century choir stall fragments, which not been seen by the public since the 19th Century. In addition, the exhibition includes a rare example of pre-Reformation English panel painting that were originally made for Ely Cathedral, the Etheldreda Panels, which have been newly conserved for the show. These and many more examples of medieval monastic objects and artworks are put in dialogue with works by contemporary artists, including two Turner Prize winners, Elizabeth Price and Richard Wright. This talk will introduce the exhibition and explore some of its highlights, including the objects from Ely. Dr. Jessica Barker is a senior lecturer in medieval art at The Courtauld in London.
