The Rising Sun is a small, independent Arts Centre based in Silver Street in Reading. We run a full programme of events, activities and participatory arts projects.

The centre is run by a team of volunteers who do everything from marketing and programming to fund-raising and staffing events. We aim to provide a space where creativity can flourish and where people can access, engage with and create art of all kinds. Our programme is of a high quality and we actively encourage people to get involved and make things happen.
