About Casa Cultural Reading
A volunteer-led CIC building a warm home for Mexican & Latin American culture in Reading, Berkshire.
Our story
Casa Cultural Reading began around a kitchen table in 2021, when a handful of Mexican and Latin American families realised their children were losing the language of their grandparents. What started as a Saturday storytelling circle grew into festivals, artisan workshops and shared meals that now welcome hundreds of Reading residents each year — Latin American or not.
Casa Cultural Reading CIC is a registered Community Interest Company in England & Wales.
