The Cambridge University Catholic Chaplaincy, more popularly known as Fisher House, was founded by papal indult in 1895, when catholics were allowed once more to read for degrees at Oxford and Cambridge. Since 1924 Fisher House, a former inn, has been its home. It is open every day for students from early morning until late evening. Its central location makes it an ideal location for meeting people outside college. The Fisher Society which is student run, provides a number of essential facilities e.g. a kitchen, a library and a bar. Catholic students and those regularly attend mass at Fisher House are automatically members of the Fisher Society and anybody else is welcome to join the events organised by the committee. Membership is free due to the generous grant given by the Cambridge University Catholic Association.

Lunch in the library and roof garden
A buffet lunch is available every day for £1.20, from 1-2 pm; please wash up any cups or plates that you use; coffee and tea are always available in the kitchen free of charge.

Fisher House Bar
The recently renovated bar opens on Friday and Sunday at 8 pm. It is located in the library, and boasts some of the cheapest drinks in town. Ring the bell if the gate is locked.

Fisher House Library
The library is open whenever Fisher House is. Books may be borrowed by any member of the Fisher Society.

The Chaplaincy is in the centre of Cambridge. You will find us off the market square on Guildhall Street, near the Red Cow pub. Look for the medallion of the Madonna and Child at the end of the entrance passage.
