ALL good things must come to an end and that’s the case with this year’s Wokingham Festival.

This will be the third and final day of this year’s event, taking place in Cantley Park.

The annual celebration of good food, music and drink has been a smash-hit with lots of entertainment.

Today will be no exception.

Make sure you look out for our photographer who will be visiting today – there will be a picture special in Thursday’s print edition of Wokingham Today, on sale at all good newsagents, petrol stations and supermarkets across the borough.

Don’t forget that if you use Wokingham Borough Council-owned car parks in the town centre, there is now a fee to pay to park.
