   About rising sun
In November 1990 a group of artists first squatted this building in Silver St. with the intention of creating an alternative, non mainstream art space in Reading. Since then the Rising Sun has been through innumerable changes and a number of crisis points where the future looked bleak to say the least. Now we are reasonably secure but only through the hard work of many, many people who work to keep the Centre going.

The Rising Sun's building was constructed in the nineteenth century as a Temperance House among the then massed ranks of pubs and other houses of ill repute in Silver Street . It was built to the design of the architect Alfred Waterhouse - who was also responsible for the far grander Natural History Museum in London. Architecture fans may notice his bold use of terracotta and patterned brick work feature in the design of both buildings. The main building is now listed as Grade 2 by English Heritage.

We involve volunteers in all aspects of the Centre's work. People get involved with our work as performers, artists, or promoters, by taking part in classes or workshops, by becoming involved in one of our participatory arts projects or by helping to run the Centre itself.

We've tried to stay true to the original aims of the Rising Sun 'Institute' and keep the intentions of its founders alive. Although we do indeed serve alcohol - including a splendid range of organic beers! - the Rising Sun still aims to improve the quality of life for everyone. We remain independent, run by local people, putting on ground level events which are not catered for elsewhere in the town. MySpace Layouts

“another of the very wonderful BIG UNTIDY NIGHTS OUT” at the Rising Sun Arts Centre, Silver Street, Reading.

HUMSTRUM, otherwise known as Pressgangs Damian Clarke and Marco Neumann from German band OffLimits, only the second time they have performed in the UK and a rare opportunity to catch one of their highly unusual acoustic shows showcasing a mix of traditional and self-written songs and instrumentals and you can even dance and sing along.

Main support on the night will be Darrell Mitchell and The Occasional Orchestra, previewing tracks from their forthcoming mini album “Japeeza!” Readings very own Paula Curtis, Nick Shorey and Occasionally David, perhaps best known for their complete remake of Forever Changes.

Entry on the door is £4 only!!
