A FUNDRAISER is set to return after a successful 2022 event, with a view to support families struggling from food insecurity within Reading.

The Rotary Club of Reading Maiden Erlegh’s 13th annual Art and Craft Fair takes place at Oakview, Leighton Park School from October 27-29, with local artist Wendy Mercer set to exhibit her works.

Up till now, the event has raised more than £60,000 in support of community projects in the Reading area. This year, the theme is once again food-related as the rotary club continues its work with Feeding Communities, who provides nutritious meals to support families in need.

An Art Fair Preview will give visitors an opportunity to see and purchase art and craftworks between 5pm-7.30pm on the Friday. Tickets are £10 and include a drink and canapes, made and served by the Inner Wheel Club.

Entry is free over the weekend, with exhibits open from 10am-5pm on Saturday and 10am-4pm on Sunday.
