This weekend our town plays host to the Reading Festival 2025. The festival has been one of the highlights of Reading’s cultural calendar for over 50 years, and I hope that everyone attending this year has a great time.
Festival-goers can see a helpful guide on best practices for staying safe and finding the right support at the festival site on the following link: https://www.readingfestival.com/informat…/personal-safety/
Hosting such a large event will make our town a lot busier over the bank holiday weekend, and residents can check the guide produced by the council for useful information about traffic management, parking, and other issues here: https://media.reading.gov.uk/…/reading-festival-takes…
A dedicated hotline and email address has also been set up for residents who have any comments or queries about the Festival over the weekend; these are: 020 8080 1518, ReadingFestivalHotline@reading.gov.uk.
