    Reading Facts
    Did you know…

    1. Slow Down!
      Formula racing legend Ayrton Senna briefly lived in the town. The road where he stayed and a nearby playground were both named in his honour. Somewhat ironically, the road now has speed bumps.
    2. Did They Just Sing ‘Fart’?
      The oldest known song in English was found in Reading Abbey. Written in 1260, Summer is Icumen also contains the oldest recorded use of the word ‘fart’.
    3. Isn’t That What’s-his-name?
      The town has other artistic credentials, those to have attended local schools include; Jane Austin, Sir Kenneth Branagh, Charlie Brooker, Jacqueline Bisset, Natalie Dormer, Ricky Gervais, David Lean and Kate Winslet.
    4. The Royals
      HRH the Kate Princess of Wales also grew up in the town. Both Kate and her sister Pippa went to local schools and the Middleton family are still based in the area.
    5. Quarantine
      In 1646 local councillors set aside houses to quarantine locals suffering from the plague. In 1665 when the disease again ravaged England, Reading closed its borders. Wardens searched incoming goods and people, which helped the town avoid the worst of the pandemic.
    6. Henry’s Heart
      Having died in Lyons-la-Forêt, France, King Henry I was brought back to England and buried in Reading Abbey minus his tongue, heart and eyes which his followers worried would rot during the journey.

    About

    Reading is certainly no quiet backwater, in fact it’s a bit of a rabble rouser. Alfred the Great fought the Danes here, the town had two famous battles during the English Civil War and was the site of the only military action during the short-lived Glorious Revolution of 1688.

    Today it’s a bustling town with great shopping, music and theatre. There are a number of big employers in the area, particularly in technology.

    There are fast trains to London, attractive parks, plenty of days out and a number of sports teams. Artistically it has produced notable performers, famous songs and of course captured in Oscar Wilde’s The Ballad of Reading Gaol.

    Leisure

    There are three local golf courses, two theatres, three cinemas and numerous live entertainment venues. It’s home to one of the UK’s largest music festivals and has an impressive events calendar throughout the year covering food, drink and art.
