PLAY! Festival 2026

Join us for Lux in Tenebris, a choral journey through darkness and light featuring the Royal Holloway Founder's Choir. Under the direction of conductor Daniel Ayers, and joined by organists Logan Williamson and Claudia Burgess, the choir traces music's long fascination with shadow and radiance.

The programme moves from Thomas Tallis's solemn Tudor textures to Flor Peeters's luminous twentieth century counterpoint, and includes a contemporary voice in Joanna Forbes L'Estrange, whose work finds light flickering within quiet places. 

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
