A NEW cultural venue in Reading town centre celebrated its first birthday by being the one to give out the presents.
The Reading Biscuit Factory is a three-screen cinema, and a live performance space with a bar, café and food available.
During its first 12 months, it has hosted comedy clubs, fairs, and become the new home for the Reading Film Theatre.
To mark its milestone, it held a special celebration day on Sunday, July 31, at its base in Broad St. Mall.
Presents included offering all cinema tickets for £3 per person, a series of workshops, and multiple musical performances.
A spokesperson said: “The first birthday events went really well. There was a good turn out, and people made the most of the £3 ticket deal.”
The Reading Biscuit Factory is the second site from high street regeneration developer and operator Really Local Group, which aims to restore cultural infrastructure to create vibrant community spaces.
