Cambridge University Press Bookshop is asking the public to send them their best photos of Cambridge for consideration in the Bookshop’s 2026 charity calendar, which will go on sale next year.
Operated by Cambridge University Press & Assessment, the Bookshop is a central Cambridge landmark located at 1 Trinity Street, Cambridge. Books have been sold at this location since at least 1581, making it the oldest bookshop site in the UK.
The Bookshop’s charity calendar will be printed and sold in support of the Red Hen Project, a small local charity that has been working with primary school children in North Cambridge for over 20 years. Red Hen Project workers support children and their families to overcome barriers to learning, providing a link between home and school. They work one-to-one in homes, at school, in the community, and also run a range of outreach group activities, including parenting courses, coffee mornings, drops-ins, workshops, family activities, trips, and volunteer opportunities.
For the calendar, the Bookshop team needs twelve photos to depict the months, showing iconic Cambridge sights in spring, summer, autumn and winter – for example, snowy pictures for December, tulips for spring, and all the key Cambridge landmarks included across the twelve months.
To get involved, send your hi-res landscape photos as jpegs to calendar@cambridge.org, including the subject line “Charity Calendar photos” in your email. In your email, please include a quick note explaining what the photo depicts and where and when it was taken.
Pictures from the 2025 Cambridge Charity Calendar can be viewed on the Cambridge University Press & Assessment website, for inspiration.
The deadline for sending photos is 28 February 2025. The calendar will be produced in spring, in time to be sold from towards midyear 2025.
Share your photography – and get involved with a wonderful charity initiative!
