LOCAL residents are invited to attend a community craft and small business event taking place for the first time in Emmer Green, Reading.

The free event will showcase a variety of talented local makers, creatives, and independent businesses, offering the public an opportunity to shop small and support local.

Event organiser, Victoria Read, who owns Bit By Bit For You, handcrafted gifts & keepsakes, said: “It’s all about bringing small businesses together and building something special within our community.

“There is so much talent locally, and I wanted to create a space where the public can meet the people behind the businesses, discover unique products, and truly see what our community has to offer.

“We want to connect, support and give back – and we’re really looking forward to welcoming everyone on the day.”

Visitors can expect a diverse range of handmade crafts, unique gifts, and locally produced items, from handcrafted keepsakes and fragrant perfumes to colourful Indian bindis made in Mumbai.
