Sponsorship & Partnership Oppurtunities

The Reading & District Irish Association’s aim is to preserve Irish tradition and promote the cultural, social, and general welfare of the Irish community within Reading and the surrounding areas.

As an organisation, we are therefore proud to introduce the Reading Fleadh, a vibrant new cultural event celebrating Irish music, dance, and community. This exciting event will bring together a diverse audience and showcase the richness of Irish heritage within the local area.

Our vision is to establish the Reading Fleadh as an annual flagship event, a highlight in the town’s cultural calendar that strengthens connections, fosters inclusivity, and celebrates the lasting Irish influence in the community.

We are currently inviting partners and sponsors to be part of this exciting inaugural year. This is a unique opportunity to align your organisation with a meaningful, community-led event.

As a non-profit organisation, all support received goes directly towards delivering the event, supporting cultural activities, and benefiting the wider community.
