The Reading Walk
Reading Walks Festival 2024
During this walk we will be taking you to see some Readings best independent venues; Shed, Milk, South Street Arts Centre and Progress Theatre to name a few. We will be taking in the delights of new and old Reading, gems like beautiful Jesse Terrace, Eldon Square Gardens and the new canal path by Huntley Wharf, where new and old nestle in together. Stepping into the back streets uncovers a whole new Reading, the one we don't often see from our cars on the daily commute. Join us for a couple of hours seeing Reading a little differently.
