PLAY! Festival 2025

The Royal Holloway Conductors' Collective, in their final concert for the year, are taking a trip around the campus. With an interactive version of the campus map on the screen, host Oliver describes how each place on campus has a link to a famous piece of music which stretches from Classical, to Dance, to Pop - and everything in between [this shows off the variety of genres we cover as a society, makes sure to include all musicians, like saxophones and electric bassists, and engages a wide range of audience members]. Each piece is only short as there's so much to see and take in! 

For example, doesn't the founders building remind you of BBC's 'The Traitors' Castle, or the SU remind you of the best times dancing with your friends to Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky', or The Packhorse remind you of karaoke night where you belt out 'Defying Gravity', or even when you walk past the chapel and hear the phenomenal poise and elegance of The Choir of Royal Holloway practicing Bach's 'Jesu Meine Freude' for their upcoming services! Well this concert will have extracts of all of these - plus more!

Car parking

When you arrive for a College event at our Egham campus, please park in car parks 12 or 4.

Car park 12 can be accessed by turning right as you enter the main College gates and is located next to the tennis courts. If this car park is full, please drive further onto our campus to car park 4, which can be accessed by turning left at the mini-roundabout behind the Students’ Union. We would advise that you bring the College map to campus with you and give yourself plenty of time to park.

Blue Badge holders can find designated parking spaces in Car park 1W, as well as between Gardeners Lodge and the Williams Annexe. You can find these locations by looking at our campus map opposite. If you require any assistance on arrival, please contact our premises team in advance of your visit by emailing: premisesadmin@royalholloway.ac.uk and they will be happy to help.

Please note that we operate an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system on certain parts of our campus, however if you are here for an organised event, parking is unrestricted for event guests in car parks 12, 4 or 14 (or display your blue badge permit if parking in a disabled bay). If you have any questions about parking, please email: premisesadmin@royalholloway.ac.uk
