FAQs about Small Venues in Cambridge
Where in Cambridge should I hire a small venue?
The city centre, Chesterton, and Petersfield are the most popular locations for small venue hire in Cambridge. In the city centre, you'll find restaurants like Butch Annie's for £28 per person. Chesterton is home to The Tivoli which starts from £500 minimum spend. Petersfield, where Mill Road is located, offers spaces like the Medium Classroom at ARU, available for £200 per day.
How can I make the best use of a small venue space?
- Arrange furniture strategically to maximise floor space. Consider flexible seating options or multi-purpose furniture so guests can mingle.
- Hang decorations, lights, or greenery to add visual interest without taking up valuable floor space. Even in a small venue, defining areas for different activities (e.g., food, socialising, and/or presentations) helps with flow and keeps the event organised. Using rugs or subtle dividers can separate spaces without intruding on the space. In smaller spaces, less is more.
- Opt for minimalist decor that enhances the room without overwhelming it. Thoughtfully placed lighting, mirrors, or pops of colour can even make the venue feel larger.
What kinds of events can I host in a small venue in Cambridge?
The options are countless! Small venues are perfect for birthday celebrations, workshops and classes, yoga or painting, and private dinners for corporate gatherings or family events. They are also excellent spaces for team meetings or offsites, fostering brainstorming and team-building away from the office. Additionally, wedding receptions or ceremonies flourish in smaller settings, creating personal celebrations with lasting memories for couples and their guests.
