A Cambridge dinky door date tour
Lotte Brundle and Josh Osman’s guide to finding and enjoying the city’s teeniest public art. To be enjoyed with a pal, a partner, a parent or a pet!

Looking for something to do now that your exams are over? Follow our 'dinky door date tour' for a day out exploring some of the miniature art hidden around the city centre. Bonus points if you discover a 'door' not on our list!

1. If you don’t think Revs is an ideal date location (and you’d be right) worry not, because this dinky date is nearby. Keep your eyes peeled for a tentacular sculpture — if that’s your thing — with an intriguing political twist…

2. The next stop on your scavenger hunting date could be combined with lunch or a snack. Not a clear enough clue? This door is nearby to some graduating students. With a magical twist, this door is not one to be missed.

3. The next tiny treasure trove isn’t far away! You’ll need the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to find it. If you’re in the market for an art or craft you won’t have far to walk.

4. Blast off to Bill’s, if you’re still hungry, or shoot off to one of the wonderful independent boutiques, including the street’s signature plant store! You’ll be sure to find this door nearby, among much ‘greenery’.
5. Finally, round out your trip by heading to Parker’s Piece. Between the many cyclists and picnic goers an infinitesimal door is hiding. This ‘reality checkpoint’ is the perfect way to round out your day, as well as a busy Cambridge exam term. Make sure you look out for the other doors which are hidden around town!
