A FRIENDSHIP festival will take place in Reading later this month, in a bid to welcome people who have come to the town from Hong Kong.

The event will be held on Saturday, May 28, at Christchurch Meadows and is organised by churches from across the Ding.

It runs from 11am to 4pm, and has an Olympic theme.

All participants will have a colour wrist band to indicate their postcode area, which will be used for a game, and there will be some fun activities, such as an egg and spoon race.

It is hoped there will be arts and crafts activities, a balloon modeller and face painters. And there will be a serious side, with support for settling into the UK.

More than 500 people are expected to attend the event, and they are asked to bring a picnic to enjoy.
