EVENTS AT THE FITZWILLIAM MUSEUM
As the exclusive caterers at The Fitzwilliam Museum, The Cambridge Dinging Company have loved delivering so many exciting events at this impressive national landmark.
The unique, historic building has such a magnificent atmosphere which works so well for events thanks to guests being able to move throughout the different galleries and spaces.
The Fitzwilliam Museum has announced that from March 2024, 5 new galleries will be available to hire for drinks and canapes receptions. The iconic rooms include works by Monet, Picasso, Renoir, Turner, Lowry and many more and have a capacity of up to 800 guests.
It is truly an honour to be their caterer and work a variety of events from canapé receptions in the grand foyer to formal dinners amongst the internationally recognised works. We look forward to many more iconic events and functions with the museum this year.

Discover William Blake’s universe and a constellation of European artists seeking spirituality in their lives and art in response to war, revolution and political turbulence. Running from the 23rd February - 19th May, this timely new exhibition brings together the largest-ever display of works by the radical British artist, printmaker and poet from the museum's own collection, alongside artworks by his European contemporaries.
The Cambridge Dining Company will be providing drinks and canapes at the official launch event on the 22nd February.

EVENT MANAGER TASTING SESSION
It was such a pleasure to invite our dedicated Event Managers into the office for an official tasting of our new concept menu.
Our super chef team presented some of the most popular canapés and dishes to our EM’s for them to taste and get a feel for the food from a guests perspective
During a busy events season we’re often passing ships so it was a great session to discuss the menu, feedback and planned changes for the year.
