From Dhol to Bhangra and Hip Hop, it has them all.  Reading, Berkshire is a rich centre of diverse community culture, influenced by its many different resident nationalities. Already playing host to the internationally acclaimed World of Music and Dance Festival, Reading acts as a melting pot for worldwide arts and culture. Reading has a thriving Asian community. Asian and Asian British residents make up 16.9% of Reading’s population. (Neighbourhood Statistics, 2003)However a lack of cultural events which provide access for young Asians to interact locally with their own cultures and others, has been identified.
