What's on this weekend in Reading? (8th November 2025)

🧀 BYO Cheese Extravaganza, Remembrance, and Bonfire Night Special

November 05, 2025

5 coolest events this weekend:

Hey there! I hope you’ve had an amazing week. 👋

Currently, across Reading (and the UK as a whole), local shops are closing, and it’s tougher than ever for our high streets and small businesses to keep going.

That’s where Perky comes in. (We didn’t like the name GoLocal ..). It provides great discounts at local independent businesses. It’s good for them as they get more sales, and good for you as you get cheaper prices at local businesses.

We already have over 15 amazing local businesses signed up, with more joining every week.

If you’d like to access these local discounts please share us here, and we’ll send them to right away to your email

Or if you’re a business you can join the waitlist by filling this form out.
