Cambridge Corn Exchange
Cambridge Corn Exchange, Entertainment venue in Cambridge, England
The Cambridge Corn Exchange is an event venue featuring Florentine Gothic architecture with an auditorium seating up to 1,000 people. Inside, the space maintains modern sound and lighting equipment while providing accessible seating options throughout the hall.
The building was constructed in 1853 by architect Richard Reynolds Rowe and originally served as a trading center for agricultural goods. Over time it transformed into a cultural venue and gained Grade II listed building protection for its architectural importance.
The venue draws artists and music enthusiasts from across the region with a year-round program of orchestral performances, rock bands, and theatrical shows. Visitors experience it as a central gathering place where different forms of expression share the same stage and audience.
The venue sits on Wheeler Street and is readily accessible by public transportation. Arriving early helps secure better seating, especially for popular performances.
The building retains its original 19th-century facade, giving it a fascinating double life between past and present. Its transformation from agricultural trading hub to concert hall happened gradually, blending old and new uses within the same walls.
