Please note
- En-suite rooms are in limited supply. We have one room that can be available for a married couple, with two single beds. This will be charged at full Refreshment Programme fee for the Refreshment Programme Guest and 50% of the Refreshment Programme fee again for the spouse to join as a room guest with Monday-Friday Meals.
- Non-EU visiting Refreshment Programme visitors may need to pay £100 for the administration required to issue an Immigration Compliance Letter (required by the UK Government). However, this is not necessary if you are visiting is for a briefer break for refreshment rather than a more extended programme of study.
- For those wishing to use other libraries of the Cambridge Theological Federation (CTF) and borrow books, there is a membership fee of £60. This is only available if you are staying for a whole term or more. This also allows visitors to audit modules in the Common Awards program.
- It may be possible to book additional days outside term time (for which appropriate member rates apply), although this depends on room availability. There are no rooms available over the summer.
- There is a non-returnable deposit of 10% of the total due for all bookings six months before your arrival date, with the balance required one month before your arrival date (or when the booking is made if at shorter notice). After your arrival at Ridley, we are not able to refund any part of the fee paid.
