The Cambridge Union, world’s oldest debating society, has seen Churchill and Reagan take the floor—and even hosted a young Margaret Thatcher. No ballots, no apps: at the climax, everyone votes by literally walking out the ‘yes’ or ‘no’ doors—a tradition since 1815. It’s not just debate; it’s where history’s most influential voices learned to persuade a crowd.

Came to watch Cambridge versus Oxford at a public debate. Great experience. Top notch debaters. Venue is outstanding. Visiting Cambridge is a treat. Make sure to doublecheck to see if the debate is open to the public if you plan to visit.

What an unexpectedly great place for a wedding! Amazingly atmospheric with stunning locations for photos. The staff were excellent and helped things run smoothly.

If you just visit here, the place itself is not bad. But please do not buy the membership !!!!!!, it is not worth the money at all. Not sure if it happened in past years, but this year, they canceled a significant amount of big events at last minutes. I purchased the membership for these events, but they just canceled without any reimbursement. It looks like they just keep posting fake events to attract people to purchase the membership. For those famous visitors events "postponed', I did not see any of them actually visit back. Also, They kept saying they are going to increase the membership to induce people to buy the membership, but it never happened for the past whole year. I barely leave any bad review, but my experience with Cambridge union is...

While I don't myself have a membership, I have heard from others that the debates that happen here are great, and perhaps worth the rather expensive membership fee. I have gone here for other events, and it has a historic ambiance which is...
