Royal Holloway Students’ Union

Location

Set in a beautiful 135-acre estate, Royal Holloway
Students’ Union has a variety of venues to cater for a wide
range of audiences and events. From a team getaway
in one of our meeting rooms above The Packhorse to
a charity fashion show complete with catwalk in our
multipurpose auditorium, our venues are capable of
adapting to your every need.

Rooms

SU Auditorium
The SU Auditorium is a diverse space suitable for
hosting live music events, theatrical productions,
dance and performance shows or rehearsals. It is a
great multipurpose venue which can be utilised as a
practice space, or for conferences, meetings, awards
ceremonies, fairs and other functions. The auditorium is
available for exclusive use, with the option of access to
a bar within the hall itself or Tommy’s Kitchen (subject
to trading hours).

Tommy’s Kitchen
Tommy’s Kitchen is an adaptable venue with a sliding
door that can divide the space in two, to suit smaller or
larger crowds. As it lives right outside of the Auditorium,
it’s ideal to be booked alongside it as an extra bar and
lounge area. However, it can also be booked on its own
for smaller gatherings. It is available for non-exclusive
social events throughout the working week by prior
arrangement, but can be also booked out as exclusive
space for parties and social events at the weekend and
selected week nights. All furniture can be rearranged or
removed on request at no additional charge.

operational charges. Bookings are offered throughout
the week in one hour windows.

Medicine Bar
A separate venue to the Students’ Union building available
for productions, shows, performance rehearsals, dinners,
conference meetings, awards ceremonies, parties and
many other events. This venue can be secured for
exclusive hire, although term time availability may be
restricted subject to trading hours.

The Packhorse
The Packhorse has been part of Egham’s history since
at least 1822, serving the community as a tavern and
beer house with good stabling and excellent ales.
Although we can no longer offer you somewhere
to stable your steed, we can put on a large range
of different events, from meeting and conference
bookings to late night parties

The Packhorse meeting rooms
The Packhorse has three meeting rooms above the
pub. These are furnished with air conditioning and
wall mounted screens perfect for a board meeting
and presentation or a space to sit back and watch the
football. With a full food menu, we can offer anything
from working sandwich lunches to hot fork buffets.
Our meeting rooms are set out to seat up to 14 board
room or 25 theatre style and make the perfect place
for a staff away day with break out space or a meeting
followed by some well-earned drinks
