University Arms is Cambridge’s original hotel dating back to 1834 and reopened in 2018 after being fully re-imagined, renovated and refurbished at the hands of renowned Architect John Simpson and Interior Designer Martin Brudnizki.

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. It’s a space that can also shrink to fit more intimate events. A solid oak partitioning wall divides the Ballroom into our Crick and Watson Rooms. The Crick Room comprises the space’s west side, seating up to 96. The smaller Watson Room has seating for up to 70 guests.
