About Wokingham Festival
A history of the festival and the team involved
“Wouldn’t it be great if Wokingham had its own Festival?!”
That’s how it all started, with a local resident who fancied a Bank Holiday festival for those who weren’t keen on the mud and mayhem of Reading! Plenty of good music, food and beer in a safe and fun environment for the whole family.
And so, Wokingham Festival was born.
14 years later, we moved from the original site in the town centre to our current site in Cantley Park in order to accommodate the growing attendees, loving every minute of running an independent festival.
Run by a group of local volunteers, the Wokingham Festival is non-profit company limited by guarantee. There are no shareholders, and the festival does not make a profit for the organisers. It is a completely independent festival with no council funding - simply a team of local people who love a good time.
The Festival has grown over the years, and as well as a larger site, we have a larger team of people involved in the planning and running the festival.
Come and join us this August Bank Holiday Weekend in Cantley Park.
