The Great Hall

When the Great Hall was built in 1889 it was the largest college hall in Cambridge. It was designed in an American gothic style and still has the standard medieval layout of a college hall. The wooden paneling around the high walls, with paintings of previous college principals watching over events lends the hall a sense of magnificent history and authority. It can accommodate a variety of events, including dinners, drinks receptions and exhibitions.

Built in 1903 the Fellows’ Dining Room has seen many changes in use over the years.

Most recently in 2004 it became one of the college’s most popular dining rooms seating up to 80 guests in formal ‘college style’ or 100 for a standing buffet and exhibition space. Its glazed doors to the west open out onto the grounds making it a popular venue for formal dining or for summer events.
