A perfect slice of England, Cambridge is a thriving city that has so much to offer as a Christmas party location. First and foremost, it’s completely picturesque. At its heart is the famous university, with historic college buildings including the gothic chapel at Kings.  The college gardens or ‘backs’ that lead on to the river make for an idyllic setting. Take a pre-party stroll and you can watch the boats go by and take in the spectacular scenic views. Another highlight is the dazzling 24-carat gold Grasshopper (the Corpus Clock) at Corpus Christi College’s Taylor Library. Installed in 2008, it’s a giant mechanical grasshopper biting chunks out of time, that’s meant to represent Einstein’s theory of relativity.

But while the academic world sets the tone, there’s much more going on in Cambridge than study. The city’s nightlife is rich and diverse, with club nights from the mainstream to the eclectic, and loads of stylish bars and traditional pubs. A packed programme of live gigs and arts events draws the crowds, with performances from the rock and pop world as well as musicals, comedy, opera, ballet orchestral concerts and an annual Christmas show.

Cambridge is less than an hour North East of London by train, with great transport links, so accessibility is easy. There are bustling market squares, cosy cafes and of course the picturesque River Cam, where it’s traditional to take a lazy punt down the waterway.
