About this space

Few halls in Cambridge can compete with the grandeur, elegance and history of the University Arms Ballroom - a wood-panelled room that belongs to our city's heritage. Natural light spills in through huge stained-glass windows decorated with college crests, with views looking out over the city’s iconic Parker’s Piece. Summer or winter, the Ballroom is the perfect space for large events, accommodating up to 180 seated guests or 200 standing.

Ideal event space for Conferences, Gala Dinners, Award Ceremonies, Grand Celebrations, University Events and more.
