Rotary Charity Art & Craft Fair 2025

Preview: Fri 24 Oct, 19:00 | Sat 25 & Sun 26 Oct, 10:00

The Rotary Club of Reading Maiden Erlegh is proud to present its 15th annual Reading Charity Art & Craft Fair at the end of October 2025.

Thanks to all the exhibitors and members of the public, the majority of the funds raised at the 2024 event helped provide healthy meals for families struggling from food poverty or food insecurity within our local community.

This year the main beneficiaries will be the Royal Berkshire Hospital Charity and a project supporting local food banks and food share groups.

To date, over £70,000 has been raised in support of local charities.
