SUMMARY:Centenary Community Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The University of Reading’s annual Community Festival is a free\, family-friendly event celebrating the amazing research\, creativity and community spirit that make Reading special. As part of the University’s centenary year\, this year’s event has been renamed the Centenary Community Festival\, marking 100 years of the University’s connection with the town and community. The festival brings together staff\, students\, alumni\, local residents\, community groups\, businesses and partners for a day packed with live performances\, interactive activities\, food\, music and fun for all ages. \nThe research programme includes a research ‘exhibition’ featuring c.20 stands with hands-on activities\, a programme of children’s talks and research talks\, and some workshops or panel discussions. As well as showcasing our research in an accessible way\, this is also an opportunity for researchers to gain experience of public engagement with research in a festival setting. The research activities are popular and have been well received by both visitors and participants.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmFclD10x3A”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
