- The Green & The Gardens – located between Royal Papworth Hospital and AstraZeneca’s R&D building, accessible from Francis Crick Avenue and Robinson Way. The Green & The Gardens provide quiet, contemplative space – outdoor seating, landscaping and wild flower planting, featuring public art. Only the Green can accommodate events. If you are interested in using The Green, please email enquiries@CBCGGgovernancegroup.com in the first instance, and a member of The Green & The Gardens Governance Group will review whether the proposed use is suitable.

Please also note that if the proposed use has been approved and where the event/activity is deemed to require an Event Licence, it will be passed to the CBC Estate Management Company for processing, for an administration fee of £250 + VAT for time/resources spent checking the application and that all relevant insurances, etc, are in place.

The Green, the area that is available for use, is shown on the following plan, which you will need to mark-up to show the proposed location for a marquee or or any other large event equipment you plan to install – Click here for plan.
- To the south, in the Phase 2 development, will be a series of landscaped spaces adjoining buildings constructed to the south of Dame Mary Archer Way, leading to public foot and cycle paths into open countryside.
