University Arms and Parker’s Piece have been the location of choice for great feasts and celebrations throughout Cambridge’s history. The same celebratory spirit that brought 15,000 people onto the green for Queen Victoria’s Coronation in 1838 remains to this day. Few halls in Cambridge can compete with the grandeur, elegance and history of the University Arms Ballroom, especially during the festive season as it becomes adorned with decorations. Whether you are looking for a space for an intimate reception or festive feasting, the Ballroom offers a unique and memorable setting for your Christmas celebration.

Our new executive chef, Lee Clarke showcases his festive flair with this 3-course menu sourced only by local produce. Highlights include a Suffolk pork shoulder terrine and spiced apple compote, slow cooked turkey with chestnut & thyme stuffing and mince pie tiramisu with an almond crumble. Tea, coffee & mince pies are also included. Tables will be dressed with festive décor and Christmas crackers.
