Selwyn College offers an unbeatable combination for conferences: historic buildings, meeting rooms with all modern facilities and excellent food prepared by its executive head chef. It offers a wide choice of en suite rooms in both Ann's Court and the newly refurbished Cripps Court, as well as standard accommodation in the Victorian Old Court.

The College offers easy access to the M11, but is also close to the city centre which is just a short stroll away through the beautiful gardens and the famous riverside Backs. Selwyn College's conference spaces are open to all, whether or not they have any previous connection with Cambridge.

The Conference and Event Team at Selwyn prides itself on the professional, yet personal, service with many years’ experience between the team. The warm welcome that Selwyn College extends to guests, combined with the acknowledged high standard of its food and services, has meant that many organisers choose to return again and again.

The impressive oak panelled Dining Hall is the ideal setting for dinners for up to 180 people, which is complemented by the New Senior Combination Room that can be used for drinks receptions or as a dining room for up to 90 people.

I think this is an excellent service which will save event organisers an huge amount of time. Other cities should follow suit - I wish it was as easy to find a venue in London!
