Facilities A-Z

Accommodation and housekeeping

Information about College accommodation can be found on our accommodation webpages. Details regarding housekeeping and cleaning schedules can be found on the housekeeping pages.

Baggage store

The baggage store allows students to leave a maximum of two boxes or suitcases each, depending on available space. The store is open for drop-off or collection between 11:30 – 12:00 midday from Monday to Friday. It may also open on a Saturday at the start and end of each term - these additional opening times will be sent out to students by email. 

Wolfson does not recommend storing anything you will need urgently on your return to Cambridge, given the baggage store may not be open when you arrive. It is the student’s responsibility for storing their items and collection of their items. Size and content restrictions apply (download regulations).

If you would like to store your baggage, please download and complete the baggage storage form and return it to maintenance@wolfson.cam.ac.uk

Food and dining

The Wolfson Cafeteria and Coffee Bar serve a range of meals, snacks and drinks for Wolfson members and their guests across the year. Visit our Food pages for opening times, menus and prices.

Formal Halls take place twice a week during term time on Tuesdays and Fridays. These are three-course meals on a set menu, which diners attend in formal attire. Visit our Formal hall pages for further information.

Wolfson students living in College accommodation will also have access to a shared kitchen in their residential block, where they can cook their own meals using the facilities provided. There are also vending machines with sandwiches, snacks and drinks in the entrance to J Block.
