PLAY! Festival 2024

Getting into the industry can be tough - so where do you start? During this workshop we'll go through CVs and networking strategies for gaining freelance work in the industry. Although we'll hear primarily from the Guild of British Camera Technicians about getting your start in the Camera Department as a trainee, the same premises apply to most other departments which also have trainee schemes and graduate entry positions.

We'll also hear from camera assistants working in the industry now with their tips and tricks to getting ahead, and some practical activities such as camera building and loading expected of trainees.

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
