Reading’s Year of Culture 2016 launched on 4 December. You can read all about it on the excellent Alt Reading.

Inspired by Warricks of Caversham Road Tea Tricycle, now in Reading Museum, we’ll be bringing our ‘Information Tricycle’ to events and public spaces throughout 2016 in support of Reading’s Year of Culture. This will display information about what’s on in a fun, friendly and flexible way as the year progresses. Contact the tricycle if you’d like it to be at your event. It’s free!  [contact-form to=’tricycle@rgspaces.org.uk’ subject=’Contact via website’][contact-field label=’Name’ type=’name’ required=’1’/][contact-field label=’Email’ type=’email’ required=’1’/][contact-field label=’Comment’ type=’textarea’ required=’1’/][/contact-form]
