About this space
The Ballroom is a space that can also cater to more intimate events. A solid oak partitioning wall divides the Ballroom into our Crick and Watson rooms, named after James Watson and Francis Crick who made the groundbreaking discovery, the structure of DNA, 'the secret to life' here in Cambridge in 1953. The sense of elegance without pomposity, of intimacy over corporate formality, is unusual for Cambridge.
Accommodates events for up to 90 people. Ideal event space for Executive Meetings, Academic Lectures, Networking Events, Private Dinners and more.
