Whitfest is evolving!

WhitFest is a Whitley-centred annual event, aiming to use the arts to make a positive difference to people’s lives. This community-led programme of arts projects and activities celebrates this distinctive part of Reading. All activities aim to be:

• Aspirational – arts experiences which are enjoyable, but also seek to have a longer term impact through developing skills, increasing confidence etc.
• High quality – activities which enable participants and festival goers to engage with professional artists and tutors

• Whitley-centred – activities which either take place within Whitley, or which have the significant involvement of Whitley residents

• Community-focused – activities which start from and explore the interests of Whitley residents
