Overview

Kettle's Yard is located between the Cambridge and County Folk Museum and the tiny St Peter's Church. It was created as a "refuge of peace and order, of the visual arts and music." Art collector Jim Ede donated the house and his art collection, which is enjoyed today, not behind ropes and in anonymous chambers, but in the living room, bedroom and the stairway. The adjoining gallery hosts exhibitions by major contemporary artists and presents a rolling programme of concerts, lectures and exhibitions for all ages. Although the gallery is wheelchair accessible, the house is much less so.
