PLAY! 2026 Festival

Join us for a vibrant, moving celebration as Fiesta Andina fills the campus with festive music and dance from the rural Andes. And yes, your participation is not just welcome, it's invited.

The parade journey

This is a parade of music making, beginning in Founders Square and winding past the South end of Founders, down through the Woods toward Queen's Building, then circling back past the Students' Union and the International Building before returning to Founders Square.

Along the route, we'll switch between a range of traditional Andean instruments. So, if you see a spare charango or panpipe looking for a lift, feel free to lend a hand. All we ask beyond that is your best weather magic and a willingness to dance. Come listen, come carry, come follow the music through the heart of campus.

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
