Abington Woods sits by the river in Great Abington, just outside Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, offering a tranquil woodland setting for private celebrations, weddings, retreats and workshops. On site you'll find two garden areas with fire circles, a cosy tipi, a theatre, a charming shipping container for intimate gatherings, and a spacious hall with a fully equipped kitchen. Tables, chairs, bunting and firewood can be hired or bought to help shape your event. The woodland itself is wild-seeded yet carefully cultivated, cared for as a living, thriving space. Beyond the woods, the wider area offers Linton Zoo, Challis House and the Royal Anglian Regiment Museum, with Whittlesford Parkway station 3.2 miles away for onward travel.
