Things to Do in Wokingham

A 19th-century Gothic Revival church with a notable spire, visible from most of the town centre. The interior has simple stained glass and a quiet atmosphere.

🕐 Monday to Saturday, 9:00–16:00

💡 Pop in on a weekday morning when it's usually empty; the volunteer guide can show you the brass-rubbing centre in the crypt for a small fee.

A Victorian town hall building with a clock tower, located on Market Place. The ground floor is open to the public and often hosts free exhibitions about local history.

🕐 Monday to Friday, 9:00–17:00; Saturday, 9:00–13:00

💡 Go on a Saturday morning when the market is on – you can browse the stalls and then step inside to see the free display about Wokingham's brewing history.

A large public park with sports fields, a children's playground, and a small lake. Good for a walk or a picnic away from the main roads.

🕐 Daily, dawn to dusk

💡 The community-run café by the car park does decent tea and cakes; check the park notice board for free weekend events like outdoor fitness classes.

A 100-acre park with a large lake, play areas, and flat paths. Popular for dog walking and jogging. The car park is free.

🕐 Daily, 8:00–dusk

💡 Head to the south-east corner where the wildflower meadow is – it's less busy and you'll often see deer at dawn or dusk.

A 450-acre nature reserve with lakes, meadows, and woodland trails. Free entry, though car parking charges apply. Great for birdwatching and cycling.

🕐 Daily, 8:00–dusk

💡 Park at the Sandford Lane entrance for free (limited spaces) and walk the circular Black Swan Lake loop – best in autumn for migrating wildfowl.
