Reading packs a lot into a walkable town centre. Here are our favourite ways to spend a day off, a date night or a Friday with friends.
1. Play games and drink cocktails at Spinners
Our Broad Street Mall venue has duckpin bowling, mini golf, Clayshot, electric darts, shuffleboard, interactive golf and electric boules under one roof. Duckpin bowling starts at £7.50pp and mini golf at £6.95pp. From 7pm it’s adults only. Book Spinners Reading
2. Do bottomless brunch
On Fridays and Saturdays, £35 gets you 90 minutes of unlimited cocktails, Prosecco and stone-baked pizza. Bottomless brunch in Reading
3. Walk the Thames Path
Start at Caversham Bridge and follow the river east past View Island for an easy, green escape from the town centre.
4. Explore Reading Abbey Ruins and Forbury Gardens
Founded by Henry I in 1121, the abbey sits right beside the gardens and their famous Maiwand Lion.
5. Catch a show at The Hexagon
Comedy, music and touring theatre, a few minutes’ walk from the centre.
6. Eat along the riverside at The Oracle
Waterside restaurants and bars for a sit-down dinner before or after a night out.
7. Book a date night with a twist
Mini golf, two cocktails and a pizza make a cheaper, more fun date than dinner alone. Try our 2 for £15 cocktails, or see our date night ideas.
