OO LA LA! Forget bangers n mash, jellied eels or roast beef … it’s time to go continental.
Reading is to host a two-day French market over Easter.
Running in Broad Street on Good Friday, April 15, and Low Saturday, April 16, the event will be a chance to try a range of sweet and savoury delicacies from across the Channel.
On offer will be a large variety of French cheeses, breads, pastries, and street food such as tartiflettes, creamy chicken, garlic potatoes.
And there will also be some wines available.
Nigel Horton-Baker of Reading UK said: “Reading has a real taste for good food.
“You can see that in the popularity of our street food markets, the new Blue Collar Corner, events such as Eat Reading, new delis springing up in the town centre, as well as the demand from the restaurant industry for space in Reading.
“The French Market will offer something different again over two days this Easter so come and vive la difference.
“Bon appetit.”
The event is run by France at Home, who have been bringing French traders from Normandy to the UK since 1994. Stalls will be open from 9am to 5pm on both days.
