    Think Outside the Boardroom — Meet at St Paul's

  • Cambridge's most characterful conference venue. Significantly less stuffy than a hotel. Considerably more inspired than a business park.

    Forget bland meeting rooms with flickering strip lights and the faint smell of last Tuesday's sandwiches. St Paul's Church & Community Centre on Hills Road offers something genuinely different; a stunning, flexible venue in the heart of Cambridge that makes your next conference, away day, training session, AGM or panel event actually worth turning up for.


    Why St Paul's Works for Business & Academic Events

    Location that does the legwork.

    We're a short walk from Cambridge train station and 10 minutes from the city centre. Getting everyone in the room; from London day-trippers to local teams has never been easier.

    Spaces that flex to fit you.

    Whether you need a mainhall for 220, or a quiet meeting room for a panel of 12, we've got it all under one roof. Configure theatre-style for keynotes, boardroom for strategic discussions, or cabaret-style for workshops where ideas need room to breathe.

    Beautiful without the premium price tag.

    You get the character and atmosphere of a Grade II listed genuine Cambridge landmark. More budget left over for morning coffee from Bould Brothers, better speakers, or a team lunch….Maison Clement opposite, you get the hint!

    Tech-ready.

    AV system, projector, screen, microphones & wifi! Everything you need to present your workshop without the usual
    cable-hunting chaos.

    A kitchen on site.

    The fully equipped catering kitchen means you can bring your own caterer, organise your own refreshments,
    or work with Puddini, our recommended caterers.*

    Perfect For...

    Conferences & Panel Events
