Møller Institute

The largest rooms at the Møller Institute seat 140 theatre style, and you can sleep the same delegates on site in 92 en-suite bedrooms, with 140 free parking spaces and a fixed, inclusive price per delegate.

What a residential meeting here gives you

The institute was built in 1992 with a gift from the A.P. Møller Foundation and stands in the grounds of Churchill College, so your group works, eats and sleeps in one Danish-designed building rather than splitting between a venue and a hotel. The conference team lists fixed inclusive pricing with no surprise add-ons, unlimited refreshments and snacks, and a technology team on call around the clock that joins the planning from your first visit. The event management team supports each booking from enquiry to the day. Bedrooms have double beds, Hans J. Wegner furniture, large desks, a safe and same-day dry cleaning. The institute holds IACC Green Star certification for its sustainability work.

Meeting rooms and capacities

There are 21 bookable rooms. Rooms have comfort monitors in the back wall and magnetic walls for workshops, and several open onto patios over the college grounds. Capacities below are those published on each room page.

The tiered Lecture Theatre has a raised stage, a fixed PA and a projection room with a camera, so keynotes can be recorded or streamed live. Møller Suite 2 has its own bar for a private drinks reception and a patio. The other Study Centre rooms run from 13 m² pods for 6 around a table up to 70 theatre style in Study Centre 4, the Bøardroom seats 12 with a video camera and its own coffee room, and the Studio is a 29 m² recording space with a green screen, ceiling microphones and a 4K screen.

Food, breaks and networking

Lunch and dinner can be served in the Restaurant, in the Tower Lounge Bar with its view over Cambridge, in the Study Centre milling areas outside your room or privately in a meeting room. Published sample menus cover buffet and plated dinners, with a vegan and gluten-free plated menu. The Hans J. Wegner Lounge, the rooftop and outdoor spaces take networking stands or drinks.

Getting there

The institute is a five-minute cycle from the city centre. Cambridge and Cambridge North stations are each about 20 minutes away by taxi, and London King’s Cross is 45 minutes from Cambridge by train. The Citi 4 bus from Drummer Street stops on Madingley Road. Use CB3 0DS in a sat nav, as the venue advises.

Comparing Cambridge options

Among Cambridge conference venues, the institute’s host Churchill College is the choice when you need a 300-seat plenary or 450 at dinner, and Robinson College adds a 400-guest reception. For a conference with posters and stands, Hinxton Hall Conference Centre has a 290-seat auditorium and 1,600 m² of event space. If you are weighing Oxford, Keble College offers 320 bedrooms on one site.
