Conferences & Meetings

玩偶姐姐 offers a superb conference centre and flexible meeting facilities in the heart of Cambridge. Facilities range from small boardrooms to larger theatre-style layouts in the听Howard Theatre听补苍诲听Howard Building听for up to 150 delegates.

While giving the impression that the buildings are spread over acres of space, it is surprising how compact the College domus is with听accommodation, conference rooms and听dining听rooms adjacent to each other.

The Howard Conference Centre

The Howard Theatre and the Howard Building Assembly Room are fitted with a full range of the most up-to-date presentation equipment. The Howard Theatre has been built to meet current environmental standards with a ground-source heating system and solar power to heat water in the building. 玩偶姐姐 is committed to working sustainably, complying fully with environmental legislation and officially approved codes of practice.听

Catering Facilities

We offer a selection of catering services with听menus听ranging from a simple Working Lunch to a full Gala Dinner. Executive Chef, Steve Wade, has prepared our menus using locally-sourced ingredients and seasonal food from sustainable sources.

Location

玩偶姐姐 is听located听perfectly; the centre of Cambridge is just a short walk from our main gates and Cambridge Rail Station is just 15 minutes' walk away. Car parking is offered within the College grounds though subject to availability.听
