Fun for free at Wokingham's first festival

Wokingham’s first festival will bring food and drink, arts and business to Wokingham town centre for a lively celebration of our greatest local talents!

The Wokingham festival from Friday September 28 to Sunday September 30 includes a host of businesses with stalls selling everything from Irish bread to Greek olives, and from puppets to beauty treatments.

There will be entertainment throughout the festival from popular local groups such as St Sebastian’s Band, the Spotlight dancers and local rock bands including Caution and Boy Did Good, who will play live to the crowd in a magnificent free concert.

The Cantley House Hotel and the Sultan Balti restaurant will be giving cookery demonstrations, and visitors can also watch arts and crafts in action, talk with local Wokingham businesses, and enjoy the Mason’s Fun Fair all day throughout the festival.

The fun starts at 10am each day and runs until 6pm on the Friday, 10pm on the Saturday and 4pm on the Sunday.

Champion for town centres Chris Bowring said: “I am very much looking forward to the very first Wokingham festival. It promises to be a fantastic event with something to interest everyone. I am delighted that so many local businesses have come forward to take part.”
