The Most Magical Way to Experience Cambridge

“A murder. An uprising. A city that changed the world. Experience Cambridge’s hidden history through an intimate evening of dinner, storytelling, and impossible magic.”

An intimate three-course dinner and show experience exploring the hidden stories, unusual characters, and remarkable history of Cambridge, reimagined through storytelling and world-class magic.

Your guide for the evening is Matthew Le Mottée, a Cambridge born magician who will lead you through the twists and turns of the city’s lesser known past while enchanting you with impossible magic just a few feet away.

Like all good stories, Cambridge’s story begins with a murder, an uprising, and an unassuming country town in the middle of nowhere.

Expect the unexpected as you are drawn into the murky past of one of the world’s most influential cities. Across nine chapters, the show explores key elements of Cambridge’s unique DNA, from traitorous spies and dubious spirits to genius minds, and the birth of AI.

Cambridge has it all… and more.

What to Expect

The evening begins with a three-course meal in the Tamburlaine Restaurant & Bar. After dinner, guests are invited into the privacy of the Garden Suite, where they will receive a complimentary drink and take their seats for the show.

The performance is filled with mind-blowing magic, remarkable facts, and highly interactive moments throughout. With only 42 seats available, every guest is close to the action.

This is not a lecture.
This is not a history tour.
This is Cambridge as you have never experienced it before.

A truly unique magic experience, perfect for visitors, date nights, special occasions, and anyone who wants to discover the city’s best-kept secrets.
