Hi everybody

We hope you enjoyed the Bank Holiday weekend. We certainly did!

We had lots of fun taking Bob the Flint Giant and John the Chalk Giant out for a stroll down Broad Street alongside the Move Up project and the marching band Tongues of Fire. And were overwhelmed by the response. Check out the coverage in GetReading, for one.

We're also overwhelmed, overjoyed and extremely humbled to receive the Queen's Award for Voluntary Services

In May, we also started much-needed repairs to the building. Don’t get fooled by the scaffolding, we’re still open for business with a brilliant June programme.

But after last week's hectic schedule, we realise we need to take a little breather.  However, even though we have just one single event, it's still a cracker, it's on Saturday and it just happens to be another KABARET KOLLECTIVE!

Join MC and chanteuse Baroness Maria von Hackermann for a night of live, eclectic klein kunst!

On the line up this time around, blues with MA BESSIE AND HER PIG FOOT BAND, plus magic and sparkle from Berkshire's very own MAGIC LEIGH! Not forgetting the dahling Baroness and ELSIE FANACKERPANTS!

We're open from 8pm and it''ll cost you £10 (£8 concs) on the door

That’s everything for another week, just to remind you that we are, as always, at 30 Silver Street, Reading, RG1 2ST (If you pop it into your satnav or Google, we shall magically appear!)
