Experts called to save Reading Festival from flooding
Preparations put in place for bad weather
Sam Chapman - 27 August 2010
The agency, along with site crew, yesterday (26 August) pumped a quarter of a million gallons of water away from the site
to prevent further waterlogging.
Melvin Benn, managing director of Festival Republic said in a
statement: "I am extremely grateful to them [Environmental Agency]. We have obviously experienced heavy rainfall
over the past couple of days but the rest of the weekend is looking good – here's to another great Reading Weekend."
The weather is expected to improve over the weekend with only light showers predicted for today (27 August), according
to Metcheck.
Tickets to the festival have sold out. If you weren't one of the lucky ones to get a ticket
