Lady Mitchell Hall

Lady Mitchell Hall is a lecture venue at the Sidgwick Site of Cambridge University with a distinctive polygonal shape and brick walls. The interior accommodates approximately 500 people and features a large auditorium with metal roofing overhead.

The hall was built between 1956 and 1968 by the architectural firm Casson, Conder and Partners and later gained Grade II listed status. This recognition reflects its architectural importance and contribution to the campus design of that era.

The hall draws internationally known speakers, musicians, and thinkers who perform and lecture within its walls. Visitors experience a space that serves equally as a venue for scholarly discussions and cultural events.

The hall is located on the Sidgwick Site and opens for visitors during lectures and events held there. Check ahead to see what is scheduled, as the venue is only accessible when events are taking place.

A commemorative plaque in the foyer documents a historic musical performance that underscores the cultural weight of the space. The plaque was donated in 2019 and marks a moment that placed the hall in the pages of music history.
