Saturday music events are returning to Peach Place in Wokingham town centre.
Organised by Wokingham Borough Council and Beyond the Download record store on Rose Street, the Saturday music events were first launched last summer.
This year once again there will be free music, and space to dance.
Ian Biles from Beyond the Download, said:
“Last year’s events were a great success with businesses benefitting from the increased trade and more people discovering Peach Place.
People were calling the shop to ask if there was music on at the weekend and if yes, were booking tables in Peach Place establishments.
We’ve booked some great bands again this year, the format being main bands supported by local musicians.”
The Saturday music line-up will include;
The Skangsters on June 11, 7.30pm to 10pm.
Funkin souled Out (plus support) on July 9, 4pm to 8pm.
Siren (plus support) on August 6, 6pm to 10pm.
The New Highs (plus support) September 10, 4pm to 8pm.
And on June 25 there will be a special Festival For Ukraine, in partnership with Generation Studio, to raise funds for charity British-Ukrainian Aid.
Food and drink can be purchased from surrounding businesses such as Sit and Sip, Leafy Elephant, Hamlet bistro and Bombay story Indian kitchen and Bar.
Cllr Clive Jones, leader of the council and executive member for business and economic development, said:
“It’s great to be able to support Wokingham businesses and the community by hosting these events at the heart of Peach Place and the town centre.
I’d encourage people to come along, book a table at one of the fantastic businesses around the square or bring along a camping chair, and see for
themselves just how great the town and Peach Place can be.”
