Free evening of Light Up The Night at Mortimer Methodist Church on Mortimer Common.
Light Up The Night is coming to Mortimer Methodist Church on Friday 30 October, starting at 17:00. It's a free event, so you can just turn up and walk in without worrying about tickets or booking ahead.
The church is at 17 West End Road, Mortimer Common, RG7 3TB, which puts it in the Mortimer part of Reading. If you're coming from the town centre, it's a bit of a trek out to the edge of the borough, so it's worth checking your route before you set off. The 17:00 start is early enough that you'll be home well before the night really gets going, and since it's a Friday, it works as a way to kick off the weekend rather than something that keeps you out late.
As for the evening itself, the title tells you most of what you need to know: it's called Light Up The Night, and that's exactly what it's built around. It's a community event in Mortimer, and with the late October date, the early start means it'll be getting dark just as things are underway. The church is the only venue listed, so everything happens under one roof rather than spread across different spots.
