The Cultural Partnership, Wokingham

The Cultural Partnership exists to encourage all the residents of Wokingham Borough to participate in as many arts, sports and leisure events as possible.

Most of the pages on this site promote What's On for Wokingham residents. Events are grouped by activity type (see buttons to the left). There is plenty to choose from. We hope that through this list of the What's On events in the local area (Wokingham and beyond), we can encourage you to enjoy more arts events.

To publicise YOUR event, click here to send us an email. Or go to the Contact us page

We aim to add new events to the What's On pages within 24hrs of receiving the announcements. We recommend that you send us the information about your event at least 6 weeks before the event.

With our more arts logo The Cultural Partnership brands all kinds of arts wherever they happen. To find out how you can become involved with The Cultural Partnership click here to send us an email. Or see the Contact us page.
