Societies and clubs at Queens' College, Cambridge

Guests from other colleges are explicitly welcome. Formal Hall is at 19:30 on Wednesday and Sunday in Cripps Dining Hall. A Queens’ member books through Upay: up to six tickets, one for themselves and five for guests, paid at booking. Bookings close at 14:00 two days before the event. The printed confirmation page acts as the ticket. Formal Hall is limited to 150 places; for more guests or a group booking, contact the Catering Management Team (catering@queens.cam.ac.uk). External group bookings are currently not permitted. Nothing is said about outside students booking on their own.

Guests under 18 are not permitted. Enter Hall by 19:30; latecomers and their guests are refused entry and tickets are not refunded. Gowns must be worn by all members of College; no guest gown rule is stated. Tutorial policy allows at most half a bottle of wine per person, with no spirits or fortified wine, and drinking games are banned. Refund requests go first to the JCR/MCR Steward. No price is published on the page; check it in Upay. Formal Hall rules and booking (opens in a new tab).

Practical assessment: find a Queens’ member to book you by 14:00 two days before; the five-guest allowance is generous, but organised outside groups are not currently accepted.
