Churchill College – a modern and accessible venue set in 42 acres of parkland.
Churchill College prides itself on being much more than ‘another Cambridge college’. Its style is decidedly contemporary; the open parkland setting where visitors are free to stroll or play games on the grass is inspiring and relaxing; and the presence of the world famous Churchill Archive Centre, offers the chance to supplement traditional conference activities with talks and exhibitions about some of the most significant political leaders of the 20th century.

Located in the north west of the city, 10 minutes walk from the famous Cambridge "Backs", with direct access from the M11 & A14 and plentiful free car parking, the College offers all of the benefits of a modern accessible site nestled under the auspices and reputation of our world-renowned University.

Churchill College’s dedicated audio-visual service is widely recognised as one of the most professional in the city. Experienced in multi-site video conferencing, pod and web casting and multi-speaker presentations, the response to almost every nervous speaker is invariably: "the answer is yes, now what's the question?"

The College boasts numerous rooms suitable for a whole host of events including a tiered lecture theatre, which seats 300 and the largest dining room of all of the Cambridge colleges with space for up to 400 diners. Outside the University’s term time the College can offer bedrooms with broadband internet access, hospitality trays, and important home comforts. The main College buildings feature free WIFI access, free daily newspapers, and access to extensive sports facilities.

Murray Edward’s College – a place to think, a place to enjoy.
