DOWNING COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE CONFERENCE AND EVENTS

WHO ARE WE? 

Downing College sits amidst 20 acres of beautiful grounds, yet it is within half a mile of the historic centre of Cambridge. The buildings date back to the beginning of the 19th century and are predominantly neo-classical in style, conveying a sense of elegance and spaciousness. Downing College offers a flexible venue with facilities suitable for conferences, meetings, weddings and gala dinners, together with 180 ensuite bedrooms for residential events. 

While the College environment itself is quiet and peaceful, the museums, shops and River Cam in the very heart of Cambridge are only a few minutes' walk away. Downing College is an ideal location for visitors on a leisure break or in Cambridge on business. We have everything you need here for a relaxing and enjoyable overnight stay in a unique environment.
