Meet Dragonfly

Our new outdoor event space — the perfect venue for your special occasion with family, friends or colleagues.

Dragonfly

Dragonfly opened its wings in May 2025. We can accommodate groups of up to 120 in our purpose-built outdoor space in our gorgeous Cambridge countryside gardens next to our beautiful pond.

Dragonfly has its own outside bar, lighting and music. The ‘winged’ roof and matting will keep you dry in all weathers too.

All with the wonderful food the Tickell Arms is renowned for — our tip-top, friendly service comes as standard. It really is Cambridgeshire’s most perfect new events venue, ready to hire for your event now.

Corporate Space

Dragonfly is perfect for corporate entertainment and events.

Motivate your team with a terrific night out, relaxing in an informal, outdoor space. You bring your team, we’ll provide the food, drink and music.

Host occasions like your annual awards event here with drinks and snacks as everyone arrives; fantastic food in the middle and fabulous gardens and your own private bar for the rest of the evening.
