Things to do with kids in Reading and Berkshire

Located to the west of London, Reading is the county town of Berkshire and sits at the confluence of the Rivers Thames and Kennet.

There are plenty of things to do with kids in Reading and Berkshire.

Its major landmark is the Madejski Stadium, home of Reading FC and London Irish rugby club, making it a popular destination with sports fans. The town is also famous for the annual Reading Festival.

Many family-friendly activities are based around the Thames, including river cruises, canoeing, cycling and annual regattas and festivals, not to mention the River and Rowing Museum with its Wind in the Willows exhibition. The Hexagon Theatre hosts regular children’s performances and a Christmas pantomime.

The Oracle is the town’s major shopping hub, and if you prefer your purchases second-hand, you'll find some popular car boot sales in the area. Check out our listings to see what's on this weekend.

Further afield, there’s lots for families to explore, such as Windsor Castle, The Living Rainforest in Newbury, and LEGOLAND Windsor.

If you've got a little one to entertain, we're here to help with our guide to baby activities in Reading. There's a wide selection to choose from, including baby massage, storytime sessions and soft play centres that are suitable for toddlers.

We've also got everything you need for planning children's birthday parties without the stress, including venues for hire, entertainers for all ages and all-inclusive party packages where everything is taken care of.
