West Berkshire Council are consulting on the West Berkshire Cultural Heritage Strategy 2020-30. A plan to make sure we protect, support and develop our fantastic arts, culture and heritage – places, organisations, events, activities. It includes libraries, museum, Shaw House, community arts centres, theatres and much more besides.
