September 15, 2.30 pm.
The original Cambridge Hotel has been serving patrons since at least 1881. The current building – which replaced the timber original – dates from 1930. The owner, Jeremy Smith, who oversaw the renovation of the hotel in 2023, will tell us all about it and show us behind the scenes. Get an insight into the challenges of the project and the motivation for restoring one of Wellington’s few remaining historic pubs.
