A week-long celebration of the arts, open to all CUH Staff, from Monday 3 - Friday 7 July.
CUH Arts was delighted to work with a fantastic team of artists and partners for the second annual Arts Festival. Celebrating 75 years of the NHS and bringing together special programmes and projects, the CUH Arts festival offered a creative break for staff and patients across our hospitals.
We hosted drop-in activities for staff each lunchtime and events for the whole hospital community throughout the week, drawing on our CUH Creates, CUH Sounds and Dance for Health programmes, and exploring Creative Engagement work for both the new Cambridge Children’s Hospital and Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital.
In 2023 we were thrilled to work with:
- Dulcie Ball

Our national health stories
As part of Our National Health Stories, CUH Arts welcomed illustrator Jim Butler alongside writer and poet Hannah Jane Walker to capture staff and their stories for an artistic response to NHS 75. Our National Health Stories was a major national programme of artistic work in hospital settings giving NHS staff a chance to tell their stories in the organisation’s 75th year.
CUH Arts is generously sponsored by Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (opens in a new tab).
