They often have wine/champagne receptions with a visiting artist coming in. Really nice event expecially if you like the artist. They do a great little scheme where you get something like a point for every five pounds spent, which is nice as you can put that towards your next purchase.

Reading (pronounced like the color, red-ing) is no London, but it does have history and culture…read more Those are collected here, in the Museum of Reading. Going all the way back to the 8th century, the displays here walk you through the ages of the city. I found it very educational and enlightening. Through the old days, up to the modern days of the city that really accelerated with the arrival of the railway in the 1840's, the impact of Huntley and Palmers biscuits on the growth, and the brick factories, WWII, and the new modern age, where Microsoft, Oracle, ING Direct, Prudential have major operations here. Lots of displays, many of which are interactive. If you have kids, this might be a fun place to bring them. Though they probably already come here as part of school trips. While they don't do public guided tours, there's still plenty to look at and engage. You can probably go through the whole place (it's on three floors) in two hours. Admission is free.
