The 106th Cambridge Natural History Society Conversazione, our annual exhibition, will take place on Easter Saturday 19th April 2025.

This year it will be for ONE DAY only and in a new venue: the David Attenborough Building, adjacent to the Museum of Zoology – many thanks to CCI Services Ltd for enabling us to use the David Attenborough Building.

For over 100 years Cambridge Natural History Society has held an annual exhibition, with displays on many aspects of natural history from its members, local naturalists and local organisations. It is traditionally called ‘The Conversazione’ because it is a social event where those attending can not only look at displays but also talk to the exhibitors.

There will be a student prize for the best exhibit from by an exhibitor who is a school pupil, college or university student at the time of the Conversazione. Click here for details.

There will be a drinks reception for members at 5 p.m. when the event closes to the public.

Past programmes give an idea of the wide variety of exhibits, and there is also a history of the Conversazione, written in 1989 for the 70th event.
