IT HAS been declared a milestone moment – not bad for a market.
On Saturday and Sunday, the Reading Biscuit Factory held its latest event, a chance for people to buy some festive presents at an indoor street market.
The venue, at Broad St Mall in Reading’s town centre, welcomed shoppers looking for that perfect gift.
There were a range of stalls, selling everything from crafts to skincare products, snacks and more.
There was even mulled wine on offer.
The event is one of the ways in which Reading Biscuit Factory aims to be part of the Reading community, making far more than just a cinema.
Preston Benson, Founder of Really Local Group which runs the venue, said: “Hosting our very first Christmas market at Reading Biscuit Factory has been an exciting milestone for us, and a fantastic opportunity to give our team the chance to spread some festive cheer to the local community.”
He continued: “The free event marks one of the first activities from our cultural event programme that promises to not only bring local residents together, but also provides an environment for businesses to trade from and promote their work.
“It was a great success and the feedback we have received has been incredibly positive.”
He also urged people to keep in touch with the venue to discover additional events.
Mr Benson said: “Stay updated on what’s on via our @readingbiscuitfactory Instagram channel.”
