As part of 'The 1971 READING FESTIVAL: For the First Time', we worked with Reading-based charity The Rock Academy to create opportunities for young people to explore and respond to Reading Festival history.
Below, hear more about the project in the young people's own words, and view the fantastic responses that this wonderfully talented group produced.
