ONE OF Reading’s hotspots is set for a visit from soap star and chanteur as part of a three-day cheese festival.

Blue Collar will welcome Shaun Williamson to its roster of live acts for Cheese Feast in Forbury Gardens.

Best known for his years of appearances as Barry Evans in Eastenders, Mr Williamson now hosts Barrioke, which sees him take the lead for an evening of karaoke.

Attendees will get the chance to join him on stage and perform alongside him in a show which has toured venues and festivals around the country.

He will also be joined by the ABBA Tribute Band who will bring the band’s greatest hits to the stage when they top the bill on the Friday.

Final headline act The EuroVisionaries will close the festival on the Sunday night with a one-off performance of the greatest hits of Eurovision.

Children from dance schools around Reading will also perform special routines in a lunchtime showcase as part of the festival.

As well as the live performances, Blue Collar is teaming up with The Grumpy Goat to provide a curated cheese and produce selection.

Stalls at the event will offer cheese-based street food, kitchens, and vendors selected from The Grumpy Goat’s specially selected ranges.

Blue Collar will also bring attendees their broad selections of local craft beers as well as prosecco, Pimms, and cocktails.

Blue Collar Corner’s Glen Dinning says: “We can’t wait to bring Cheese Feast back to Forbury Gardens.

“Our first two Cheese Feast events were a huge success and brought thousands of people to Forbury Gardens.

“Now we’re going bigger and better with even more cheese-based street food stalls, a full line-up of fun live entertainment and a cheese produce area run by our good friends The Grumpy Goat.”

The Cheese Feast festival takes place in Forbury Gardens from Friday-Sunday, April 28-30.

Full information about the festival, as well as updates about tickets and performers, is available via Cheese Feast’s Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter pages.
