CAMBRIDGE WEDDING & EVENT VENUES
Magic at King's College, Cambridge
Award-winning magic in one of Cambridge's most extraordinary historic settings.
Matthew has performed at King's College, Cambridge on many occasions and is proud to be a recommended supplier to the College, providing professional magic for weddings, dinners and special events in this remarkable historic setting.
Close-up magic works particularly well during dinner. With guests seated at the College's long dining tables, Matthew moves around the room entertaining groups of guests in turn, bringing the magic right to the table without interrupting the natural flow of the occasion.
For larger celebrations, Matthew can also present stage and cabaret magic for the entire room. Using the presentation area near the lectern, the entertainment can move from intimate close-up magic to a shared performance that everyone in the room can enjoy together.
Looking for a magician for a wedding or event at King's College or elsewhere in Cambridge? Matthew performs throughout Cambridge and Cambridgeshire, providing close-up, wedding, corporate and stage magic for events of all sizes.
CAMBRIDGE EVENTS • BIG & SMALL
From Grand Colleges to Relaxed Gatherings
Great magic doesn't need a grand stage. Sometimes the best moments happen right across the table.
Cambridge has an extraordinary variety of places to celebrate. Matthew performs everywhere from prestigious college dinners and large weddings to smaller parties, restaurants and relaxed get-togethers across the city.
These photographs were taken while performing at The Old Bicycle Shop in Cambridge — a rather different setting from King's College, but exactly the same idea: bringing people together with entertaining, interactive magic.
Close-up magic is particularly suited to smaller events because there's no need for a stage or complicated set-up. Matthew can mingle with guests, join groups around tables and perform just inches away, allowing the entertainment to become part of the atmosphere rather than interrupting it.
From an intimate gathering of friends to a room filled with hundreds of guests, the magic is tailored to the event — not the other way around.

WEDDING MAGIC IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE
A Little Magic Between the Big Moments
A wedding day has its landmark moments — the ceremony, the photographs, the speeches and the first dance. But often it's the time in between that gives guests the greatest opportunity to relax, talk and enjoy being together.
Matthew Garrett performs close-up wedding magic throughout Cambridge and Cambridgeshire, entertaining guests during drinks receptions, photographs and wedding breakfasts without taking attention away from the day itself.
These photographs were taken while Matthew was performing at The Old Hall, Ely. Its elegant reception rooms, grounds and views towards Ely Cathedral make it a wonderful example of the country-house weddings Matthew regularly performs at across the region.
The magic can move naturally with the wedding: mingling with guests over drinks, bringing different groups together and then continuing around the tables during the wedding breakfast. There is no complicated set-up and no need to stop everything for a performance.

From May Balls to Rooftop Evenings
Cambridge has its own rhythm — historic colleges, summer balls, elegant hotels, theatres, private venues and celebrations overlooking one of Britain's most distinctive cities.
Matthew Garrett has performed extensively at events in Cambridge and across Cambridgeshire, from university celebrations and May Balls and summer balls to weddings, corporate events, dinners and private parties.
CAMBRIDGE CITY CENTRE
Magic Above the Cambridge Skyline
Close-up magic works particularly well when the setting already gives people something to talk about.
These photographs were taken while Matthew was performing at The Varsity Hotel & Spa in Cambridge — a very different setting from the historic dining halls of the colleges, but one that captures another side of the city.
For drinks receptions, dinners and corporate gatherings, Matthew moves naturally between guests, creating short, astonishing moments of close-up magic without interrupting conversation or the flow of the event.
That flexibility is particularly useful in Cambridge, where events can range from intimate dinners to university balls involving hundreds of guests.
UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE EVENTS
May Balls, Summer Balls & College Celebrations
Cambridge's university calendar creates some extraordinary events. Matthew has entertained at university May Balls, summer balls and college celebrations in Cambridge, where close-up magic is particularly effective because it can move with the crowd rather than requiring guests to gather around a fixed stage.
During larger events, Matthew can entertain different groups throughout the evening — during receptions, around dining areas and amongst guests as the celebration develops. For events requiring something everyone can watch together, stand-up and cabaret magic can also be incorporated.
FROM CLOSE-UP TO THE STAGE
When Everyone Watches Together
Cambridge events don't have to be limited to close-up magic. Matthew also performs stand-up and stage magic for larger audiences, adapting the performance to suit theatres, dinners, university events and corporate celebrations.
This photograph at the Mumford Theatre in Cambridge reflects the other side of Matthew's work: taking the interaction and humour of close-up magic and turning it into entertainment the whole room can experience together.
BEYOND THE CITY CENTRE
Cambridge & Beyond
Matthew's work takes him throughout the wider Cambridge and Cambridgeshire area, performing at hotels, country houses, wedding venues and private event spaces including Slepe Hall.
Whether the occasion is an elegant Cambridge college dinner, a country wedding, a corporate celebration or a relaxed private party, the approach remains the same: professional, personable entertainment designed around the guests and the event rather than a one-size-fits-all performance.
