Readipop Festival in an award winning annual three day music & arts festival set beside the River Thames at Christchurch Meadows. The festival is run and managed by local music and arts charity, Readipop. We specialise in delivering innovative projects to those 'in need' including people with disabilities, mental health issues, learning difficulties, low esteem or young learners finding it hard to stay in school. We also work with older people, in youth clubs on deprived estates and tackling issues within society such as reducing reoffending. Sometimes creativity is over-looked and it can be hard to measure. However, at Readipop we see small successes everyday - proof that engaging in creativity has life-changing positive outcomes.
