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.
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.
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.
Ballroom from £1,950 full day. £1,450 half-day
Crick Room (1/2 of the ballroom ) from £1,200 full day. £900 half day
Watson Room (2/2 of the ballroom) from £750 full day. £550 half day
Day delegate rates (DDR) (min. 20 people) – £72.00 per person
All public areas of the hotel are accessible.

"I recommend using the venue booker! Jenny was absolutely amazing; from sourcing a number of venues to getting me and my event booked in successfully. She was very patient and friendly even when I asked her 1001 questions and changed the details of my event, she was happy to help. She was very fast at replying and on job with chasing up venues. Very good and professional service. Thank you!!! Even through the pandemic, jenny made my event possible. I would use the venue booker again. "
