Cambridge Group Activities & Weekends

From birthday parties to a lads weekend away or just a quaint family holiday, Cambridge will definitely take you by surprise with it’s unique charm and huge array of activities – and even nightlife! Known primarily as a place for academically inclined students, the city in the East is so much more.

For one, the setting is beautiful. No matter what occasion you’re having, the cobbled streets, small buildings and pristine neighbourhoods will make a great backdrop. In between the scenery itself you can find stylish shops and boutiques, cute pubs and taverns and some delicious eateries to refuel in between your days.

It’s true that if you’re headed to Cambridge for your group you won’t see a crazy nightlife scene, but there’s a ton of hidden gems around if you’re organising a celebration and want to pop the prosecco. Explore by day and relax by night is the main vibe you’ll get from Cambridge, so make sure you pack a pair of comfy shoes and maybe invest in a map of the historical city!

With all the group activities on offer that will cater for a group of gals, you could even go one step further and just organise a whole girls weekend away! Fill your days with fun and energetic experiences before getting your glad rags on and hitting the best bars in Cambridge.

Reasons to Visit

Punting! – An obvious one and something that draws tourists from far and wide, punting along the river is a must when you’re visiting this quaint city. You can even take lessons if you’re looking to learn!

Fitzbillies – Born in 1920, Fitzbillies on Trumpington Street has been home to the best Chelsea bun in Cambridge ever since. If you have a sweet tooth, we promise you won’t be disappointed.

The architecture – It would be very difficult to avoid feasting your eyes on the beautiful buildings all around the city, but some honourable mentions to visit include Cambridge university and the Mathematical Bridge.

Stunningly photogenic – Around every corner, nook and cranny of Cambridge you’ll find a photo opportunity. The backdrop to your group visit will definitely be one to remember.

Activities for all – No matter what your occasion (even if there isn’t one), you’ll find a fun activity that will fit you.

Getting Around Cambridge

The saying ‘good things come in small packages’ rings very true for Cambridge, especially when it comes to transportation. Being as quaint as it is, this city is fairly easy to get around just by foot. If you’re not in any rush, we highly suggest you walk the cobbled streets and see the sights as you drift from one activity to another.

If walking really isn’t your forte, fear not! The city is bumbling with buses and taxis to use at your disposal, or you could hire a bike and take on the little city with pedal power. If all else fails to inspire you and you want a really unique mode of transport, you can always hire a punt and travel by water.
