Cambridge Corn Exchange – Main Auditorium
Originally designed in 1873 by one of the country's foremost architects of his day, Richard Rowe, the Corn Exchange was, in more recent times, redesigned as a concert hall and conference facility.
The main auditorium is a versatile space offering flexibility for conferences of all sizes from fully seated (across three levels) to walk-round exhibitions.
There are additional exhibition areas available (see following pages) and the auditorium also has direct access for loading and unloading.
One auditorium - three levels
The seating layout in the main auditorium can be arranged to suit your needs. The stage can be set at three sizes depending on your requirements.
The flat floor of the auditorium seats between 484 and 690 people (depending on the size of the stage), with a further 228 seats on the tiered removable seating at the rear of the flat section.
The balcony offers raked seating for 490 people and the mezzanine floor holds a further 42 seats.
The Corn Exchange also has 5 spacious dressing rooms in the backstage area for use during your conference.
