Dress code
The Garden Party is a smart/casual event. The gardens have limited shade, so please be aware of this if it is a hot day. In case of bad weather, alternative locations will be arranged, and we would encourage you to wear weather-appropriate attire.
Parking availability
Due to limited space and environmental concerns, there will be no parking available in College unless you are a blue-badge holder or have very limited mobility. For those who have requested parking for the aforementioned reasons, this will be arranged for you.
We recommend using the Park & Ride services in Cambridge (see the following map https://cambridgeparkandride.info/).
