Raver Tots made a spectacular return to Reading last weekend as Artful Dodger took to the stage to entertain families alongside a host of other artists.

It comes after Berkshire’s biggest summer festival revealed dates for 2021 following the announcement of Boris Johnson’s roadmap out of lockdown.

The one-day family-friendly music festival came to Prospect Park and also saw the likes of Jaguar Skills, Artful Dodger, The Wideboys, Nicky Blackmarket, Kenny Ken, Harry Shotta, Brandon Block, DJ Vibes and the Guinness World Record holder, DJ Archie, who is the world's youngest club DJ.

Mike Pickets, founder of Raver Tots, said: "It's a lifelong passion for me to produce an event that is an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

"It's been a long wait and a hard time for so many people, being able to party together and make memories through music will last a lifetime, we think it is going to feel more magical than ever.

"Given the enormous appetite for the return of events, we felt it was only right to use the platform to raise awareness for a good cause, and as such, we are excited to have teamed up with an amazing charity - Brain Tumour Research.

"Like events, charities have also faced enormous challenges over the past year, so we aim to support the company in raising vital funds and raise awareness for something so profoundly important."
