PLAY! Festival 2026

Remember those gloriously earnest, slightly chaotic, whole‑school singalongs? Hands on hips, voices at full belt, words half‑remembered but absolutely felt? They're back. 

After James B Partridge's online revival took the nation by storm, our Chaplaincy Team is bringing the ultimate nostalgia trip to Royal Holloway. Led by Joshua Davis (a first‑year Music Student and Chapel Warden with the perfect blend of enthusiasm and musical know‑how), you'll be taken on a rollicking trip down memory lane, reviving those random lyrics that have been stored in the back of your brain for years. No auditions. No judgment. Just joy, questionable choreography, and a whole lot of "He's got the whole world in His hands." Come raise the roof - assembly style.

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
