WhitFest is Aspire2’s annual community arts festival. WhitFest uses the arts to make a positive difference to people’s lives. It will host an ambitious community-led programme of arts projects and activities which celebrate this distinctive part of Reading. The festival programme will include activities across a range of art forms, and is supported by funding from the Earley Charity and The Cultural Partnership (Reading Borough Council).
The theme for WhitFest is ‘The Future of Whitley’ and we want to celebrate everything we love about Whitley. This year WhitFest is working in partnership with Whitley Excellence Cluster of schools, University of Reading, Creative Junction, Real Time, The Red Van Man, Academy Sport, Whitley Library, South Reading Community Centre, Cedar Court, Whitley Wood Community Centre, Hexham Community, and Whitley GrowAllot.
