A party is being held at the ruins next month
A SUMMER celebration is set to be held at the Abbey Ruins next month.
The free party will take place on September 2 from 2-5pm, featuring live music and activities for all the family.
More than £3m was spent on restoring the 900-year-old ruins as part of the Reading Abbey Revealed conservation project.
The garden party will feature a history trail for children and guided tours through the ruins.
It has been organised by the Friends of Reading Abbey, Friends of Reading Museum and Friends of Caversham Court Gardens.
Highlights of the afternoon include entertainment from the Pangbourne Silver Band, Shinfield Shambles Morris Group and the Rock Choir.
Afternoon teas at the event will be on sale from The Ways & Means Trust.
