East Reading Festival

Four Days of Fun

Hundreds enjoyed the sunshine at a giant family fun day of celebrations as East Reading Festival drew to a close on Sunday, 4 July 2010.

Young and old flocked to Palmer Park to enjoy live music, fairground rides, clowns, community stalls, a barbecue, sports and circus activities, Bollywood dancing and much, much more.

There were also drumming workshops at The Warehouse in Cumberland Road, and a chance for children to be creative by making masks at Palmer Park Library in St Bartholomew's Road.

On Saturday there was a chance to tour a therapeutic wildlife garden at the junction of Hamilton Road and Whiteknights Road where children took part in a nature trail and arts and crafts fun.

The same day also played host to an absolute beginners salsa dance class at The Warehouse where participants were eased through basic routines.

On Friday there was a henna workshop at the Indian Community Centre in Norris Road where visitors had the chance to discover more about the ancient art.

There was also a drama workshop, teddy bears' picnic and plenty of fun and games aboard the Just Around the Corner bus.

Thursday gave people the chance to try Nordic walking, learn to play a Dhol drum, cake baking classes along with dance workshops and more crafts for children.

Everyone who came enjoyed themselves and it was a great four days of fun.
