PLAY! Festival 2026

Join us for a special screening of 'Then I Will Exist', a short documentary from director and producer Kathryn Cockle. Created for her third-year practical documentary class, the film turns a tender and clear-eyed lens on her transgender sister. Navigating the overlapping landscapes of family, faith, and trans acceptance, the documentary strikes a distinctly upbeat and affirming tone. This is not a story of struggle alone, but one of joy, recognition, and the quiet power of showing up for each other. Kathryn will be present for a brief post-screening conversation.

A brief conversation with the filmmaker will follow the screening.

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).
