Clubs and Societies
Clubs and societies are a great way to get to meet other students in College and provide a brilliant opportunity to take a well needed break from busy Cambridge life. Lucy Cavendish has many active clubs and societies and hopefully something to cater for all interests and tastes. All of the society representatives will be delighted to hear from you if you are interested in joining or have any questions. The full range of Cambridge societies, along with contact details, can be found here – you might be surprised at what you find!
If you can't see a club that interests you, check out our frequently asked questions on how to start a new one. If you're missing your own society on this page, please contact us so we can set up your information here.
