Offer Holders’ Events
Every January we welcome Offer Holders to the RNCM for a range of in-person activities, designed to help you make an informed choice on whether we’re right for you.
The events differ from School to School, but you’ll meet our staff and students, view our facilities, and get to know potential future classmates. Other activities include masterclasses, seminars, concerts, taster lessons, and more!
Auditions for 2027 entry are now underway. Full details for the next Offer Holder Events, including the booking form, will be added to this page shortly.
