I would like to formally thank you in showing an interest in RCN.

It been a long hard road but we are finally ready to start promoting the committee and the relaunch Reading Carnival 2025.

Our main focus for the next coming year is to create Mass bands within the Reading community working together with Caribbean, African, South American and all associations, plus all ethnicity and diverse groups that want to make A mass carnival bands.

We will be putting together workshops showing the creative side of Mass bands and even creating it into a business it is your choice. Our point is now about preservation and the sustainability of Reading Carnival for it's longevity into the future. We need to keeping up with the carnival circuit and embracing the change and the new generation idea's bridging the gap between young and old and allow the elders to hand down there expertise.
