Medicine Bar

Medicine Bar is a flexible event venue on the Royal Holloway campus in Egham, available for private hire for a wide range of occasions. Organisers can book the main bar space for parties, performances, theatre productions, conference meetings, awards ceremonies and other gatherings. The venue's open layout can be arranged for different formats, including a dance floor, a performance area, theatre-style seating or a conference setup. Its island bar and raised areas provide distinct zones for guests to meet, relax or watch a performance.

The main space has capacity for up to 650 people. For events that benefit from fresh air or additional room, the venue can also be hired with its terrace and beer garden. These outdoor areas sit alongside the main building beneath stretch tents, and can suit social gatherings, barbecues and larger celebrations. The beer garden accommodates up to 250 guests, while the terrace has space for up to 150.

The venue is offered for exclusive hire, although availability during university term time may depend on its regular trading schedule. Event planners can discuss their requirements with the venues team, arrange a visit and enquire about options for their booking. Additional event extras may be available, including music and technical equipment, entertainment, decoration and photography. These can help organisers shape the space around the occasion, whether they are planning a lively party, a show or a more formal event. Medicine Bar offers event planners a distinctive campus setting with both indoor and outdoor areas to work with.
