Start of Year Celebration with Mass

You are warmly invited to attend the Margaret Beaufort Institute’s start of year celebration on Wednesday 8th October 2025, starting at 10 am with Mass at St Edmund’s College Chapel (CB3 0BN) and followed by tea, coffee and cake at our home at the Woolf Institute at 11 am. Fr David Bagstaff will be presiding at Mass.

We will be celebrating the contribution and long service of Professor Eilis Ferran, who has been a Director of the Institute for many years and recently retired from this role. Please join us to say thank you and celebrate all she has contributed to the institute.

It is a 6 minute walk from the Chapel to the Woolf Institute.

Parking

Please note there is no parking at the Woolf Institute.

The nearest on-street parking is at Pound Hill, a minutes walk from us. There is a 2 hour limit on parking here. For a longer period, parking is available all day on Mount Pleasant and St Peter’s Street which are both less than 5 minutes’ walk. These locations are pay-and-display or paid via RingGo and cost 80p for 30 minutes, Monday-Saturday 9.00-17.00.

There is a larger car park on Castle Street called Castle Hill Car Park, an 8-minute walk from us.

Cambridge often becomes very congested during peak times, so we recommend using the Madingley Road Park and Ride.
