The Barn

International Coffee Bar

Cambridge, England.

The Barn is a club for international students in Cambridge.

The students may study at one of the language schools or in the University. Some of them are au-pairs or on holiday in Cambridge.

The Barn is organised by a team of Christians from local churches in Cambridge.

The Barn meets nearly every Thursday evening throughout the year from

7.45 - 10.30pm

in

St Barnabas Church Hall

The Barn is on the corner of Mill Road and St Barnabas Road.

Different things are on the programme each week, including:

• International Folk Dancing,
  
  
• Party games,
  
  
• Cultural events,
  
  
• Seasonal parties,
  
  
• board games,
  
  
• cook-your-own pancake parties
  
  
• and live music.

The main reason the students come to the Barn is to socialize in a friendly and welcoming environment.

It is a great place for the international students to meet and make friends with English people and to practise their English.

Some of the international students who come want to know about Christianity, so The Barn offers Bible studies for those who are interested.

The Barn closes in July and the first part of August. However, in these times two other clubs for international students are open which meet in the city centre: Harry's next door to Holy Trinity church and Andy's in the Stone Yard Centre on St Andrew's street.

I was part of the Barn team for 13 years, before I emigrated to Canada. It meant a great deal to me. If you do visit the Barn, you can expect a warm welcome. Do please tell one of the organizers that you have seen this web-site.
