Cambridge hosts many events. Conference hotels, university colleges, and science parks stage corporate functions, academic conferences, and formal dinners. City centre venues and racecourses also hold trade shows
Seated banquets use 6ft round banqueting tables with room for up to 10 guests. Long dining formats, buffet lines, and catering stations suit 6ft rectangular banqueting tables.

Outdoor events and marquee setups use trestle tables on grass and uneven ground. All table styles are available in large quantities with short lead times.
Cambridge college dining halls — including King's College, Trinity, and St John's — use long rectangular tables in formal hall settings for dinners and events.
