Robinson College Cambridge

About the venue

Within the popular and beautiful city of Cambridge, Robinson College provides a unique environment for national and international conferences.

From the outset Robinson College was planned with the needs of conferences very much in mind. Set in several acres of attractive wooded gardens yet only a few minutes' walk from the city centre and the famous "Backs", the College building is architecturally striking and highly functional. The College has been a venue for residential and non-residential conferences and meetings since 1981 and over the years has steadily grown in experience and reputation. It is now considered by conference organisers and delegates to be one of the leading university conference venues in the UK. Our highly trained and professional staff who look after conferences understand the needs and demands of discerning customers and respond positively in a helpful and efficient manner. We pride ourselves on our proven ability to arrange and host a variety of events ranging from small meetings to large international conferences. We hope that the care we take of all our visitors is part of the reason why a growing number of organisations return to Robinson regularly for their conferences year after year. Residential conference facilities are available during the University vacations. Arrangements can be made with local branded hotels for the rest of the year and we offer 24 hour delegate packages including transportation from hotel to the College.
