Wokingham

Wokingham People living in sheltered housing schemes across Wokingham Borough are being taken to a special Christmas shopping evening in Reading town centre next week.

Wokingham Borough Council’s community wardens have arranged for residents of Dickens Court, Palmer Court and Meacham Court to be taken for free to the festive shopping evening, which is being held to make shopping easier and more fun for older people and those with a disability. The evening has a medieval theme and will feature entertainment such as wandering minstrels, a knight on horseback and a juggling jester. There will also be discounts and refreshments on offer.

Transport will be organised by the Wokingham community wardens and a minibus will be provided for those in wheelchairs. The community wardens will also be able to help people in wheelchairs and those who are less mobile to get around the shops.

The special shopping evening is on from 6pm to 8pm on Monday November 30 and is being organised by Reading Borough Council and Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce.
