Ducks at Emmanuel College by Sir Cam
College access
The CAMCard enables you to enter the Colleges*, free of charge, when they are open to the general public, with up to three guests (one at St John's and Queens' and King's).
We recommend that you contact the College(s) you would like to visit, prior to your trip to Cambridge.

- Clare College is restricted to alumni due to ongoing building works
- Gonville and Caius is currently undergoing a refurbishment project. There may be occasions where access cannot be permitted due to health and safety reasons
