About this space

Cambridge Marina is a waterside events venue built around a flexible blank‑canvas marquee that links an adaptable interior to extensive lawns beside the river.

Design: The main event space presents white fabric linings and a draped ceiling that create a bright, neutral backdrop; pale linens and wooden chiavari seating maintain a restrained, formal look while long, rectilinear proportions suit table runs or an open plan layout.

Features: A freestanding, climate‑controlled marquee with integrated PA and in-house speakers, event-grade Wi‑Fi and a hard-surfaced dancefloor. The venue permits own music and brings-your-own DJ setups. Accessible toilets and wheelchair access are provided, and there is large on-site parking.

Ideal for: Organisers planning a formal seated reception that transitions into a lively evening party; groups seeking a flexible, mixed-format layout with substantial outdoor space.

What sets it apart: A private island on the grounds is licensed for civil ceremonies, and the venue offers an optional boat arrival for a waterside procession.

What guests say: The venue's management is attentive and organised, providing hands-on event support and vendor coordination.
