Thank you for your interest in our Open Days. The Royal College of Music held its annual Open Day on 1 May 2024 and was aimed at students looking to begin courses at the RCM in September 2025. Please check this webpage for details of future events.

Our new prospectus for 2025/6 will be ready to download from our website from mid-May.

The Royal College of Music Junior Department has separate visit days for parents and young people to explore our programme for 8-18 year olds.

Visit the Royal College of Music Museum

The Royal College of Music Museum contains the earliest known guitar, the earliest stringed keyboard instrument and the most recognised portraits of Joseph Haydn and Farinelli.

Following a £3.6million investment from Heritage Lottery Fund, the Museum has undergone a complete redevelopment and opened to the public in October 2021.
