Parker’s Piece and the University Arms have been the loci for great feasts and celebrations throughout Cambridge’s history — now augmented by an £80 million renovation project, completed in 2018.
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 wedding reception in the Ballroom.
Few halls in Cambridge can compete with the grandeur, elegance and history of the University Arms Ballroom. It is designed for parties, weddings and large events, seating 180 guests - and up to 200 standing.
A private event at Parker's Tavern combines the gravitas of a historic Cambridge institution re-designed by the Queen's architect, John Simpson, with a modern lightness of touch by Swedish-born interior designer, Martin Brudnizki.
Press launches, private lunches, graduation celebrations - Parker's Tavern accommodates each occasion with a cultured aesthetic that belies our heritage, paired with a feasting menu created by chef Tristan Welch.

University Arms Cambridge, re-created in 2018 by architect John Simpson and interior designer Martin Brudnizki, offers 192 rooms and suites across four floors, with views over Parker's Piece, historic Regent Street, and the hotel's inner courtyard.
The style is undeniably British. Classic Edwardian interiors are combined with bespoke, leather-padded writing desks, low ottomans and tiered chandeliers in playful colours and rooms full of natural light. The result is ambitious, beautiful, and full of life.

I only have good, positive feedback. You offer a first class service, everything always runs smoothly and the colleges where we have held our dinners have also been helpful and accommodating. Your service saves me a lot of phone calls trawling through colleges who have the availability, so a BIG thank you from me. I’ve been using you for several years now and everything has been perfect, I cannot fault anything!
