Newnham College was established in 1871 and is a captivating venue nestled in a tranquil location in the heart of Cambridge. Featuring picturesque, landscaped gardens, elegant Queen Anne-style architecture, beautiful rooms and exquisite catering, the college is the perfect setting for your special day.
At Newnham College, the possibilities for your day are diverse. Whether you envision a full-day affair, from the civil ceremony to the evening reception, or prefer to host just the wedding breakfast and evening reception, the team can accommodate your preferences.
Celebrate in style
Situated in a very private area of the college, with easy access to the Peile Lawn, the Jane Harrison Room is the venue’s most popular ceremony room. It dates back to 1910 and can accommodate 100 friends and family for the service.
Alternatively, the Barbara White Room, located in the oldest of the college buildings, is decorated in pastel blue and white and can hold 60 of your nearest and dearest.
Al fresco ceremonies take place on the Peile Lawn, which is surrounded by picturesque red brick buildings and floral borderers and has space for 100 of your guests to watch you say ‘I do’.
The attractive College Hall Lawn borders the College Hall. Guests can mingle, relax in deckchairs and play garden games while enjoying a selection of drinks and canapés. Alternatively, the marquee and lawn can be used as a private space for your reception. If you’d prefer to be indoors, the Lucia Windsor Room, situated close to College Hall, offers a modern space for your guests to relax and mingle.
Suffused with light, the College Hall is decorated in elegant pastel shades, complemented by pale wooden furniture. It is topped by an eye-catching barrel-vaulted ceiling with elaborate white plasterwork. Twin, full-height oriel windows are boarded by romantic trailing clematis and wisteria and offer views across the grounds with room for 150 people for the wedding breakfast.
Complete your special day with a magical, memorable evening in The Iris Bar. An adjoining courtyard offers outdoor space where guests can enjoy clement evenings. Inside, you can bring a band or DJ and dance the night away with up to 200 of your favourite people.
