Peterhouse

Peterhouse offers organisers a distinctive setting for conferences, meetings, weddings, receptions and private functions in the heart of Cambridge. Founded in 1284, the College combines historic architecture and landscaped surroundings with practical facilities for modern events.

The venue has a varied selection of rooms, making it suitable for everything from small seminars and board meetings to larger presentations, lectures and networking occasions. Its Theatre provides tiered seating, a raised stage, air conditioning and professional audio-visual facilities, including cameras, microphones and sound equipment for recorded or web-enabled events. The adjacent Lubbock Room can be used for refreshments, exhibition stands, breakout discussions and smaller meetings.

Additional rooms offer flexible layouts for seminars, workshops, speaker meetings and executive gatherings. Peterhouse can also arrange formal dinners, receptions, buffets and other catered occasions in atmospheric spaces such as the Hall and Combination Room. Event menus and drinks can be tailored to the nature of the booking, with the College catering team supporting organisers throughout the planning process.

For residential conferences and multi-day events, bedrooms are available within the College, including rooms with en suite or shared facilities. This makes Peterhouse a practical choice for organisations bringing delegates together for meetings, academic programmes, training sessions or retreats.

Peterhouse also has a dedicated wedding offering. Couples can arrange exclusive use of dining rooms and gardens, with wedding breakfast menus, selected wines and experienced staff contributing to a memorable celebration. Its central Cambridge location, historic character and combination of meeting, dining and accommodation facilities make it a versatile venue for both professional and private events.
