Black History Month Fete

The University of Reading is holding its Black History Month Fete at Broadstreet Mall on Saturday 31 October, from 11:00 to 15:30. It's the university's flagship event for Black History Month, and the format is a community marketplace that brings people together through culture, conversation, creativity and community.

At its heart, the fete is a showcase for the organisations, businesses and individuals making a positive difference across the town. You'll find them running stalls throughout the day, so it's a good chance to see who's doing what in Reading and chat with them in person. Alongside the stalls, there are interactive creative workshops led by Jelly, and storytelling sessions running as part of the main programme. Both are open to people of all ages, so it's something you can do with kids in tow or just on your own.

The whole thing is free to attend, and there's no registration required, so you can just turn up when you fancy. It runs from 11:00 to 15:30 on Saturday 31 October at Broadstreet Mall.
