202 years old, untold happy pints and happy nights out. A real community pub. A Community Interest Company (CIC) has been formed to fund the leasehold purchase of @castle_tap and keep it in the hands of the community, where it belongs. thecastletapcic.co.uk #rdg #rdguk

Tonight music for a summer's evening
Creating harmonious soundscapes with an acoustic guitar and a trusty Boss RC30 loop pedal, Jon Werede Hope has gained a well-deserved reputation as an exceptional musician in Norway. This Friday he spreads that reputation further. To @castle_tap. whatsonreading.com/venues/ca…
