ONE OF Reading’s summer festivals is setting up for a return, celebrating diversity and community.

East Reading Festival is returning to Palmer Park on June 25, bringing with it a day of family fun, festivities, and friendship.

This year’s festival will see the return of the Give Speech A Chance stage, which will see a full roster of spoken word performances including poetry and readings after its introduction at last year’s event.

It joins the Main Stage in bringing diverse and creative acts to the day, including a costume display from the TEMPO MAS Carnival Costume Band.

Building on previous years, the festival is championing sustainability and is actively encouraging people to walk, bike or take public transport on the day.

Secure bicycle parking is available at Palmer Park and a number of buses, including the number 17, pass directly by the park.

The festival committee has also announced that Paul Childs – Keller Williams estate agency will be continuing as the headline sponsor for the 2022 festival.

Agency owner Paul Childs said: “As a Reading resident and local business owner, supporting East Reading Festival is vital for the community.

“This is why I wanted to align Paul Childs – Keller Williams as their local independent property expert.”

Matt Foster, committee member and festival volunteer, said:“After a successful relaunch in June 2022, we’re really excited to be welcoming people back to East Reading Festival 2023.

“We received some wonderful feedback from last year’s festival and hope to build on that success this year.

“We have been the grateful recipients of some community funding from Reading Borough Council and The Earley Charity and will be using this to support the festival this year and secure its future moving forward.”

Oganisers also gave their thanks to the volunteers and local organisations who make the festival possible, as well as sponsors, who this year include Five Rivers, My Dance Land, Palmer Park Bowls Club, The Quran Project, RG Spaces, The Aurora Family and Reading University.

East Reading Festival is a free-to-attend event taking place in Palmer Park from noon-6pm on Sunday, June 25.
