Who says plants have to be green?
Last year, the team Imperial War Museum Duxford hosted a stunning event with light-up trees, blending engineering with elegance.
They brought an “outdoors indoors” vibe while transforming their industrial space into something magical. Guests loved them and so do we!

Would you try this for your next event?

The American Air Museum at Imperial War Museum Duxford has quickly become a favourite event space for both the team and their clients.

Although it is relatively new to this venue, the versatile setting is ideal for a wide range of events, including gala dinners, award ceremonies, car launches, and even food truck receptions! With the unique atmosphere and captivating museum exhibits, it is easy to see why the American Air Museum is a strong favourite.

Christmas has officially arrived at Meet Cambridge! 🎄🎉

While decking out our tree, we discussed the ultimate festive debate:
To be very demure, very mindful and colour-coordinate or go all-out with a rainbow of sparkle?
We do not all agree on this topic so we are turning to you. Do you prefer a perfectly themed tree or one that is a little more eclectic?

Share your thoughts (and maybe your tree pics!) in the comments below!

The stunning Great Gate at Christ's College, Cambridge with the original 16th-century oak doors is often the first sight for visitors and students. Founded in 1505 by Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII, the gate displays her coat of arms: the Beaufort family’s portcullis as a symbol of strength and lineage, the red rose of Lancaster and ‘marguerite’ daisies as a tribute to Lady Margaret’s name.

Her statue, added in 1888, graces the niche above.
