What our guests have said about the Enid Porter Room
“Could not recommend more. The staff were absolutely amazing throughout the booking being flexible on dates and times of our booking and making sure the room was set up in the best way for our event. They were very accommodating and made us very welcome. The space itself is great – adaptable and has access to a projector – and was a great venue for bringing people from organisations across Cambridge together. Will definitely be booking again for future events.”

    Took lots of pictures, but only posted the three. It was really interesting, the displays were placed really well. It was the best place we saw in Cambridge, and we walked around for hours. A definite must see!

    A must go if you live in the city! I cycle past this museum every day and never really had a chance to visit until very recently. It was a weekday and I was positively surprised by the warm welcome from the staff. I learned that this lovely little museum is run by volunteers and tells the story of the town people, their lives and achievements. It certainly made me look at Cambridge with different eyes, and I really recommend a visit.

    A good small museum, well worth a visit. Was an old pub with lots of historic articles. Very friendly staff.

    Fun little museum with some fascinating objects including Victorian washing machines and witch bottles!

    The museum is pretty and has a bit of history, but I think it doesn't worth the 6 pounds ticket when it's so small. I would have costed it 4 pounds maximum. It's nice to visit once, but I will not visit again.
