If you’re an Australian living in or around Reading, Berkshire, and are looking for like-minded people to connect with, you are in luck! Reading is a vibrant town with a diverse community, and there are several ways you can find fellow Aussies for regular meet-ups.
Social Media Groups: Platforms such as Facebook often have groups dedicated to expatriates or specific nationalities living abroad. Look for a group like “Australians in Reading” or “Aussies in the UK” where you can post your interest in setting up regular meet-ups.
Meetup.com: This website is designed to connect people with similar interests. Check Meetup.com to see if there are existing groups for Australians in Reading. If not, you can easily start your own group inviting people to join.
Local Events: Keep an eye on local event-listings in Reading. Sometimes cultural festivals, pubs, or community centres host events that attract Australians or international attendees in general.
Australian Businesses: A slightly indirect approach is to visit Australian cafes or shops within the area where you might encounter staff or patrons who are Aussies and would be interested in regular gatherings.
University Connections: If there’s a university nearby (such as the University of Reading), there might be an Australian student community or events that welcome Australian expats.
Engaging with these resources can help you establish a network of Australians keen to meet regularly, share experiences, and celebrate your culture together in Reading.
