Accommodation

This event does not have camping but there are a number of hotels, hostels and guest houses in the area.

More info

Apart from raising awareness and funds for the charity, the festival continues to support the local music scene from the grass roots level upwards. It is a policy of the festival to ensure at least 70% of the artist bookings are from Reading and the Berkshire area.
