Town's annual winter festival approved

The festival will include an ice rink, stalls and a marquee

An annual winter festival has been given unanimous permission to take place between November and January 2026.

Reading Winter Wonderland, including an ice rink, a marquee and stalls, can be built at the Hills Meadow car park in George Street, Caversham, after Reading councillors approved a plan on Wednesday.

It has been held there since 2021, having earlier been held in Forbury Gardens.

The structures will be permitted to stay there until 16 January 2026 under the council's approval.
