RSA Event Terms and Conditions

The RSA Public Events Programme runs a dynamic programme of over 150 events a year.

All of our events are free and open to the public but booking is essential as many of them can book up very quickly.

Admittance Policy


All our events start promptly at the stated time.

If you are not seated five minutes before the start of the event, we reserve the right to offer your place to others.

We reserve the right to refuse admission to latecomers.

Audio, Video and Photography at our events


The majority of our events are live audio broadcast so any questions that you ask during the event will form part of this broadcast and be included in our audio files after the event.

Many of our events are filmed and photographs (using a flash) may be taken. Attendance at the event will be taken as acceptance of these conditions.

Flash photography by the audience is not permitted as it is distracting for the speakers.

Food and Drink


Eating is not permitted in the auditorium.

Covered drinks e.g. bottled water or covered coffee containers are allowed. Please be very careful with these and take them with you on your way out.
