DOWNING COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE CONFERENCE AND EVENTS

A DIFFERENT KIND OF EVENT.

THE FULL-OF-CHARACTER KIND.

Nestled just a short walk from the centre of Cambridge, amongst 20 acres of lush grounds, Downing College is a place where towering, nineteenth-century halls neighbour quiet, reflective gardens, and 180 ensuite bedrooms sit beside the most remarkable private theatres. It’s a fusion of two worlds, as neo-classical style meets the best of modern hospitality.  

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.
