Fenner’s in the news – July 2025

We have received a number of communications from members, following three articles in the press about Fenner’s.

Firstly, the Sport leader in the Daily Telegraph published online on 8th July and in print on 9th July. Members have also drafted their thoughts in the comments section of the article itself on the Daily Telegraph site. The article covers the proposed Hughes Hall development, the drop in the proportion of CUCC home fixtures played at Fenner’s, the performance of the playing surface and impediments to ground access.

Secondly, in the Cambridge Independent on 16th July.

Thirdly, in Varsity on 17th July.

All three articles over the same issues of declining Fenner’s usage and access problems for those using the ground.

CUCC is continuing to seek resolutions to these concerns with the relevant parties.
