RESIDENTS will be treated to a day of cultural celebration, as a community group plans to light up Ibis Health Club, Scours Lane.

Kenyans in Reading Family Funday takes place on Saturday, August 5, and will recognise the town’s diversity through traditional cuisine, activities and competitions.

Everyone is welcome to attend the event which marks the end of summer and attracted more than 3,000 visitors last year.

Event founder Ken Gathere said: “We’re really excited for this year’s event. Although the concept started in around 2004 as a small barbecue, we’re proud that we first held the event in the park eight years ago.

“Its main aim is to give back to the community, bring it together, and build something that future generations can inherit. As an event, we are grateful for what the UK has offered the Kenyan community.”

This year, organisers are calling on local businesses to attend and use the fun day as a platform to showcase their work. Those interested can get in
