About us

The Rising Sun is a small, independent Arts Centre based in Silver Street in Reading. We run a full programme of events, activities and participatory arts projects.

The centre is run by a team of volunteers who do everything from marketing and programming to fund-raising and staffing events. We aim to provide a space where creativity can flourish and where people can access, engage with and create art of all kinds. Our programme is of a high quality and we actively encourage people to get involved and make things happen.

Look under ‘What’s what’ to see who’s involved or at the ‘What’s on’ section for our latest events or if you would like to know more about getting involved check out the ‘community’ section for information about becoming a volunteer.
