West Road Concert Hall

West Road Concert Hall

West Road Concert Hall is the largest conference facility within the University of Cambridge.  The Concert Hall (499 seats) is complemented by a large, bright Foyer (340 sq. m) which is ideal for exhibitions, registration, networking and catering.  These spaces are supplemented by a state of the art computer room and six lecture rooms varying between 50-100 in their capacities.  Working alongside our neighbouring Colleges for accommodation and Departments for additional auditoria, we are able to offer attractive and functional conference facilities in the centre of one of the most historic and beautiful of England's cities.
