Our accommodation & meeting rooms are set among informal gardens, offering a relaxed & peaceful setting with easy access from the major roads into Cambridge. The College is a 10-minute walk away from the historic city centre, which offers excellent restaurants, pubs, shopping & punting. New Hall is one of the younger Cambridge University Colleges, founded in 1954, & celebrated its’ 50th Anniversary year in 2004. The College was established to help women take their place at the University, after they gained the right to receive their full degrees in 1948, & still admits only women students, with male & female Fellows & Staff.  New Hall is home to the largest collection in Europe of contemporary works by women artists. Many of the works can be seen on permanent public display around the College.
