ENHANCING YOUR STAY
THE HEONG GALLERY
The art scene at Downing College received a welcome boost with the opening of The Heong Gallery of modern and contemporary art in Spring 2016. What once stood an Edwardian Stable has now been fully converted into a modern and contemporary art gallery at Downing College, named by Alwyn Heong, an alumnus of Downing College, who is a passionate supporter of the visual arts and a collector.
The Heong Gallery displays between 3-4 exhibits annually, showcasing a multitude of cultures and artwork from across the world. This venue offers a truly unique experience as it is available to hire for private viewing and drinks receptions. With room for up to 50 guests, the space is perfect for a culturally enriching and intimate event.
SPORTS & LEISURE
The College has a modest but modern gym facility, located behind the Howard Theatre, which may be used by guests. Before using the gym, you must sign the disclaimer form obtainable from the Porters’ Lodge. For health and safety reasons, there must be at least two people using the gym at any one time.
There are two outdoor tennis courts situated by the Singer Building. These may be used by prior arrangement with the Porters' Lodge. Guests are very welcome to walk around and enjoy the gardens around the College.
THE CAMBRIDGE EXPERIENCE
Cambridge gives visitors a unique experience that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. It is the quintessential English destination with ancient courts and halls sitting alongside contemporary award-winning buildings.
With 800 years of history, visitors can tread in the steps of famed alumni such as Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, William Wordsworth and Samuel Pepys.
You can enjoy such activities as punting on the River Cam, taking a guided walking tour of the city which is compact and easy to walk around or attending Choral Evensong in King’s College Chapel. We would highly recommend Hidden Cambridge, who we have worked with and had great success with in the past.
