THREE WEEKS of family-friendly events are coming to Reading.
From Saturday, May 14, to Sunday, June 5, there will be a range of activities, workshops and open days to celebrate Huntley and Palmers 200th Anniversary.
The festival will start with a Forbury Fiesta on Saturday 14 May.
Cllr Karen Rowland, lead for culture, heritage and recreation, said: “I’m delighted our fantastic Children’s Festival is returning for its 33rd year, and to be celebrating the 200th birthday of our famous Reading institution, Huntley and Palmers, with plenty of biscuit-themed fun.
“It is also a great build-up to all the exciting events and activities we are looking forward to as part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.”
Cllr Rowland encouraged groups and organisations to apply for a space to shape this year’s agenda.
“Whether it’s fundraising or face-painting, we want to hear from you,” she said.
The full diary of events and activities on offer across Children’s Festival 2022 will be available from April.
