Peterhouse

Peterhouse was founded in 1284 and its Hall, constructed between 1286 and 1290, was the first collegiate building to be completed in Cambridge. The variety and charm of its interior derive from the 19th-century stained glass, wall tiles and decoration by William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones and Ford Maddox Brown.

Peterhouse gardens and grounds achieved fame in the late 19th and early 20th centuries enclosing the smallest deer park in England and still provide a peaceful haven and a delightful walk to the recently listed William Stone Building (1964) and St Peter's Terrace (1851) where most conference guests are accommodated.

• Peterhouse is the oldest College in Cambridge.
• Central location.
• Diverse range of meeting and dining rooms to cater for both small and larger events.
• Facilities available for non-residential events during termtime, as well as vacation periods.
• Unique Victorian lecture theatre.
