Winner of the Best Food Market in the Great British Market Awards 2020, this is held on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month. As anyone local to the area will tell you, it's a great opportunity to explore and purchase fresh food and drink directly from local producers. 
There’s a range of produce available from a variety of Reading-based farmers, ranging from organic fruit & veg to high welfare meat, fish, eggs & dairy products–there’s even natural skincare available!

If you’re a football fan who also loves a little bit of chaos, this is definitely something to look forward to in Reading.
The game is simple: five-a-side with each player strapped into a giant inflatable bubble (and barging isn’t frowned upon.) This is a great way to spend an hour laughing and playing with your group of up to 15, with players being regularly rotated to ensure that everyone enjoys the fun and a referee there to keep things running smoothly.
If you’re looking for a funny bonding activity in the Reading area this Autumn, this is definitely one we’d recommend!

The event is adults only, so would be an ideal Autumn activity for couples or anyone in need of a little bit of relaxation.
