Two weeks of free events to inspire climate action in Reading!
Saturday 8 June – Friday 21 June 2024
ReadingCAN is back this summer with the 5th annual Reading Climate Festival – two weeks of free events to inspire collective climate action in Reading.
Why collective climate action? Because even small steps matter when thousands of us take them together!
The Festival kicks off with Water Fest on 8th June and closes with Show Your Stripes Day on the 21st June.
What’s on?
There’s something for everyone:
- A Youth Mobilisation Day organised by and for young people
- Events to help local businesses and schools measure, understand and reduce their climate impacts
- A chance to be part of a collective pledge to work towards net zero in Reading
- A sustainable fashion show curated from local charity shops
- Wellbeing walks and talks about our amazing local nature
- Events to help householders reduce bills and create warmer homes
- A Big Lunch in Forbury Gardens for the whole community
- A climate communications campaign challenge
- Lots of insights into where Reading’s carbon emissions come from and who’s doing what about them…and much more.
