about
University of Cambridge
The NOrthern Society
The Cambridge Northern Society is a student-led community for anyone from the North of England – and anyone who loves it. Whether you’re from a village in Northumberland, a city like Manchester or Leeds, or the rolling hills of Yorkshire, we’re here to bring a bit of home to Cambridge.
Founded to celebrate shared culture, support students, and foster lasting friendships, the Society is open to undergraduates, postgraduates, and anyone who feels a connection to the North. We host everything from pub nights and formals to speaker events, cultural celebrations, and collaborations with other regional and access-focused societies.
More than anything, we’re about community. Cambridge can feel like a world away from home – but it doesn’t have to. Northern Society is a place to meet people who get it: the accent confusion, the flat-cap jokes, the longing for Greggs. It’s a place for laughter, warmth, and pride in where we come from.
