Reading Festival

About

One of the biggest musical festivals in the world, every year over 90,000 people flock to the Richfield Avenue site to experience the iconic event.

On top of music from some of the worlds best bands, artists and dj's, the arena is also home to carnival rides, delicious hot and cold food stands and makeshift bars serving cider, beer, wine and cocktails all day and night. The silent disco keeps the party going once the stages call it a night, with a truly unique experience that you have to see for yourself.
