When the Great Hall was built in 1889 it was the largest college hall in Cambridge. It was designed in an American gothic style and still has the standard medieval layout of a college hall. The wooden paneling around the high walls, with paintings of previous college principals watching over events lends the hall a sense of magnificent history and authority. It can accommodate a wide variety of events including balls, awards ceremonies, annual dinners and wedding receptions for between 90 and 270 guests.

The Great Hall has its own private bar available for functions.

The Combination Room has large glazed wooden doors and windows overlooking and leading out to the immaculately maintained lawn and terrace.

Like many rooms in the College, The Combination Room has seen its share of changes, having been a theatre, an assembly hall, a gymnasium and a dance studio. These days its uses are less varied and it is most frequently requested as an area for drinks receptions and informal gatherings.

If you are wondering how it got its name, that's easy. The room is where the College Fellows 'combine', the equivalent of a senior common room.
