A NEW summer event is set to bring South Reading communities together on Sunday, June 11.
The inaugural Whitley Carnival, organised by charities Aspire2 and Whitley Community Development Association, will see two parades make their way through the ward, before meeting up at John Madejski Academy for a Fun Day.
Workshops have taken place across Whitley in the weeks leading up to the event. Featuring 11 arts organisations and 11 schools, residents created giant puppets, costumes and stilt walkers to showcase on the day.
The event is free of charge and promises to showcase the very best of Whitley.
