Reading events, clubs, gigs and what's on

There's so much happening when you’re looking for what's on in Reading, and we’ve got all of it in one place for you, right here. Whilst the town is most famous for the little old get-together that is Reading Festival, there are a ton of other things to do when we aren't in the festival season.

When looking for Reading events, you are not without some quality choices. Live music plugs in most nights at SUB89 and Facebar, and the curtain drops for amazing theatre productions regularly at The Hexagon. Plus, if you’re a student, then the 3Sixty Bar at Reading Univeristy always delivers some of the biggest touring acts in the country. There really is something on offer for everyone.

So, what are you waiting for? Scroll through our events and book tickets for events in Reading now!
