The Community Festival is returning for a third year on Saturday 17 May 2025.

The University is excited to invite our local community, staff, students and Alumni for another family-friendly extravaganza on Whiteknights Campus.

The University of Reading’s Community Festival is a free family-friendly event for the local community. It brings together local residents, alumni, researchers, community groups and small businesses for a programme which includes live music, theatre and performance, workshops, sporting activities, community stands, a craft market, street food, and a range of research-related activities and talks.

Take a look at last years programme to get a flavour of what to expect this year!
