Classworks Theatre & Costumes is at 2a Rock Road, nestling in the corner of Rock and Cherry Hinton Roads. Overshadowed by a large betting shop, it’s easy to walk past. Don’t! Go and have a look.

I went to investigate the other day, as I had heard Classworks are taking part in ‘Cambridgeshire Open July’, a programme of events taking place next month.   Inside is a cornucopia of theatrical costumes and props from the days of Ancient Greece to the present, and a staggering variety of props. The collection is hired out for shows and special events.

Given the thousands of hats, shoes, dresses, coats and props that are there, you should find what you are looking for, but if not, they will make your costume for you – and even style your hair so it’s right for the part. They are opening their doors to everyone next month, so you can go and try costumes on. I’ll be looking for a flapper dress from the 1920s. Feather boa, anyone?

2nd-31st July, Tuesday, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, 10.30am-4.00pm.
