November 16, 2022
If you’re staying in Reading over the Christmas period, it’s likely you’ll be looking for some festive activities. Here are a few of our favourite Christmas events taking place in Reading this December.
Reading’s Winter Wonderland
Berkshire's largest annual Christmas event since 2014 is set to return in 2022. At Reading's Winter Wonderland, visitors can enjoy more than 20 rides and attractions, including an ice rink, an Apres ski bar, and Santa's Grotto. In addition to festive stalls, there is a range of seasonal food and drink such as German sausages, mulled wine, and winter cocktails. Winter Wonderland is located in Hills Meadow by Reading Bridge and entry is completely free.
The Reading Lantern Parade
Walk together in the lantern lights and follow the glowing fireflies as they dance along Broad Street to Forbury Gardens. This will be a heartwarming celebration of the festive season filled with lights, music and community spirit, on the 10th of December.
Leading up to the event, lantern-making workshops will be held across Reading so that everybody has the opportunity to make their own beautiful willow and paper lanterns.
A Christmas Carol
From 30 November to 31 December, Reading Rep Theatre will perform the original Christmas tale by Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol. Take a trip back in time to Victorian England to meet Ebenezer Scrooge and follow him as he interacts with the ghosts of the Christmas past, present, and future.
Lights & Liminality at Basildon House
