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

We know that, for many of our guests, this is the time for them to unwind, recharge, and escape their heavy-duty speech planning. And so, our guests are invited to take full advantage of our modern gym facilities, tucked away behind the Howard Theatre. Simply sign a disclaimer, make sure you have at least one person with you, and you’re all set.

For those who prefer fresh air to air-con, you’re free to make use of one of two outdoor tennis courts, neighbouring the Singer Building – or take a stroll around our sprawling gardens, if that’s more your thing.

THE CAMBRIDGE EXPERIENCE 

The truth is, there’s nowhere quite like Cambridge. Follow the footsteps of Cambridge alumni, such as Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, William Wordsworth, and Samuel Pepys. Walk through 800 years’ worth of architecture, from the ancient halls to the ultra-modern, award-winning buildings. Or go a few steps further afield, whether that’s punting atop the river Cam, taking a guided walking tour of the city, or attending Choral Evensong in King’s College Chapel. It’s the kind of place that’ll never leave you bored.
