Strawberry Fair 2023!

It's been a while, and it's a stage we've never had the honour of playing on before... but we're BACK at Cambridge's legendary Strawberry Fair this year, kicking things off at noon on The Portland Mutiny Stage! Strawberry Fair is always a blast, and we're really looking forward to being part of the fun (and hopefully, sun). See you there!

Full info:

Ahoy there me hearties.

Come the revolution, the Portland Stage will return on Sat 3 Jun 2023 at the lovely, free and awesome Strawberry Fair on Midsummer Common, Cambridge.

Join the MUTINY at the Portland Stage and Bar with over 10 hours of music from 19 Acts and over 80 Performers at the largest indoor stage at Strawberry Fair.

They are all playing to you for free - thank you so much to them - please follow them on social media, go to their gigs and have a look at buying their music and merch. This year's Line-up will start to be announced from 11 Mar (12 weeks before the Fair) and listed below here as they are confirmed:
