GUEST INFORMATION

THE HEONG GALLERY

The art scene at Downing College received a welcome boost with the opening of The Heong Gallery of modern and contemporary art in Spring 2016. What once stood an Edwardian Stable has now been fully converted into a modern and contemporary art gallery at Downing College, named by Alwyn Heong, an alumnus of Downing College, who is a passionate supporter of the visual arts and a collector. 

The Heong Gallery displays between 3-4 exhibits annually, showcasing a multitude of cultures and artwork from across the world. This venue offers a truly unique experience as it is available to hire for private viewing and drinks receptions. With room for up to 50 guests, the space is perfect for a culturally enriching and intimate event. 

THE CAMBRIDGE EXPERIENCE 

Cambridge gives visitors a unique experience that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. It is the quintessential English destination with ancient courts and halls sitting alongside contemporary award-winning buildings.

With 800 years of history, visitors can tread in the steps of famed alumni such as Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, William Wordsworth and Samuel Pepys.

You can enjoy such activities as punting on the River Cam, taking a guided walking tour of the city which is compact and easy to walk around or attending Choral Evensong in King’s College Chapel. We would highly recommend Hidden Cambridge, who we have worked with and had great success with in the past.
