  Reading Water Fest 2024

  11:00 - 17:00River Kennet and Abbey Quarter

  Reading RG1 3JH

  Water Fest is Reading’s way of celebrating and showing off the Kennet Canal in all its glory, along with the gorgeous and historic spots on its towpath - complete with a programme full of fun, music, dance and activities!

  Visitors can take in the sights and sounds as they wander through Chestnut Walk, Forbury Gardens, and the Abbey Ruins. En route you’ll see some beautifully painted boats and meet some of the  friendly boaters keen to chat to you about life on board.

  Water Fest is brought to you by Reading Borough Council, in partnership with the Kennet and Avon Canal Trust. This hard-working charity is committed to enhancing and promoting the canal for people to enjoy – both on and off the water!

  Would you like to run a stall or provide entertainment, workshops, sports, or arts & crafts to raise funds and awareness? Apply now.
