A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Venue Showcase event last Thursday! What a great start to March 🌤️✈️

We had a fantastic afternoon meeting new and existing clients, and we always love putting faces to the names of those we have many email conversations with😀.

A special note to Imperial War Museum Duxford for hosting this event. It was a great experience from such gracious hosts, and we must admit we really enjoyed having the opportunity to watch the sun set over the runway.

It was a pleasure to have so many of our venues in attendance, showcasing the unique and historic events spaces available across Cambridge.

Thank you also to Jen from 12 degrees Events & Team Building for sharing her top tips on hosting events in her fantastic talk.

We’ve had some lovely feedback already but if you want to share your thoughts or have any questions regarding this event, even if you did not manage to attend, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us at enquiries@meet-cambridge.

A mistle-toast to the holidays 🥂
With Christmas fast approaching, now is the time to book your work’s Christmas party if you haven’t already done so.

For those looking for a more low-key event, a Christmas lunch could be the perfect solution. Hosting your Christmas party within core working hours enables colleagues who commute or who have off-duty responsibilities and pressures to attend, whilst still offering the same quality and style as a Christmas dinner.
Plus, hosting your event during daylight hours makes it easier for your team to travel sustainably, allowing your attendees to get home safely and affordably via public transport.

Currently, good availability remains for Christmas lunches across Cambridge. So, if a Christmas lunch appeals to you, click the link below to submit your enquiry today 👇
