10 New Things To Do In Reading

Inspiration

  1. screen at the cinema
    We are a three-screen cinema, bar, coffee shop, live performance space and community hub situated at the heart of Reading’s town centre. Our aim is to offer a fantastic and welcoming venue and create a setting where everyone can relax, work, meet and create – all under one roof.
    1. aqua park floating on lake
      We wanted to bring the great outdoors to the Thames Valley with a brand new outdoor adventure centre, a social sanctuary and a safe playground for everyone set on a stunning freshwater lake. We strive to create opportunities for individuals and families to access adventure within a safe, natural, astounding lake. With two islands to paddle around and a large lagoon full of untouched natural waterways, there is over 80 acres of water to enjoy, relax and exercise on. We have lots of fantastic activities, including paddle boarding and open water swimming, plus an aqua park in summer, and events for everyone so why not come down and join us at this new and exciting venue.
    2. painted shipping containers of Blue Collar Corner
      In March 2022, we turned this derelict and abandoned yard into Blue Collar Corner - Reading’s newest independent venue and our first permanent site. Featuring 1 bar, 2 floors & 4 kitchens, a huge beer garden in the Summer and with cover in the Winter, it was 6 years in the making. With beer from Reading brewery Double-Barrelled, cocktails from the bar, rooftop vibes, banging DJ sets and award-winning fried chicken from Gurt Wings, Neopolitan pizzas from Sarv’s Slice, incredible bao buns from YouBao and vegan tacos from The Taco Tree, your new hangout is here. OPENING TIMES (FROM 12.03.22): THURSDAY, FRIDAY & SATURDAY: 11AM – 10:30PM SUNDAY: 11AM – 8PM
    3. mini golf
      Crazy Golf, Ten Pin Bowling and Darts comes to Reading! An independent competitive socialising venue run by local people with an affinity for good times, fine cocktails, ice cold beers and stonebaked pizza. An intimate bowling experience with chesterfield sofas, cosy interactive darts booths and an enchanted garden crazy golf course with a flowing river. Recline in the snug underneath a pink blossom tree – dine on luxurious velvet seating with marble tables. Gone are the bright lights and cheesy music – in come deep mood lighting and a soundtrack to vibe the day (& night) away.
    4. A family looking at the Bayeux Tapestry.
      Situated in Reading’s Victorian Town Hall, the Museum tells the story of Reading from its Saxon beginnings to the high-tech town it is today. Explore ten galleries of historic and artistic objects. Discover archaeology from Roman Silchester and Reading Abbey, view vintage Huntley & Palmers biscuit tins, explore our famous Victorian copy of the Bayeux Tapestry, and don’t miss changing exhibitions in the Art Gallery. Take a look in our shop with unique local products, books and gifts.
