University Arms Hotel, Regent Street, Cambridge, CB2 1AD
The University Arms Hotel and Parker’s Piece have been the location of choice for great feasts and celebrations throughout Cambridge’s history. The same celebratory spirit that brought 15,000 people onto the green for Queen Victoria’s Coronation in 1838 remains to this day — whether a graduation party in Parker’s Tavern, a board meeting in the library, or a conference in the Ballroom.
Location
The hotel is located in central Cambridge. It is a 20-minute walk from the train station and a 7-minute walk to the market square.
Rooms
Ballroom
The grand 272 sq. m. ballroom, with its abundant natural light, high ceilings and original features, has a modern collegiate feel – historical and elegant yet exceptionally workable with clear sightlines and a high ceiling. Original stained-glass windows and an imposing fireplace give the room historical points of interest. The ballroom can accommodate up to 200 people in a theatre or reception set-up and can divide into two sections to allow for smaller events or plenary and breakout space combinations.
The Crick and The Watson
For smaller occasions, the Ballroom can be divided with a solid oak
partition to create two separate rooms: the Crick and the Watson.
The sense of elegance without pomposity, of intimacy over corporate
formality, is unusual for Cambridge. Each room is suitable for up to 70
and 96 seated guests.

Easy to work with and cost-effective. In 2014 The Venue Booker was asked to identify a suitable, new venue for Chambers’ prestigious Medical Law Lecture. Jenny not only met the brief by finding the right venue but she also secured it on favourable terms.
Richard Rodger, Hailsham Chambers
