Orthodox Christian Parish
Easter Service 2026 - INFO!
1. The Easter Vigil service will begin at 9:30 PM because we are in a residential
area, and last year there were a significant number of complaints to the
West Berkshire Council about parking and noise.
2. Please DO NOT try to park on the streets near the Church –
traffic management officers will NOT allow you to park in those areas.
3. Please use one of the following parking options:
a. The Calcot Centre, Highview, Calcot, Reading RG31 4XD
- There are over 100 parking spaces, please park in an orderly and quiet manner upon arrival and departure.
- Do not leave cars overnight!
b. Recreation Road Car Park, Recreation Rd, Reading RG30 4UD
- Paid parking via the RingGo app.
- From here take Bus 17 Purple (service runs all night) to the terminus The Water Tower (pub), after which it is a 10-minute walk to the church.
4. If possible:
- Use the car share option service to avoid coming with many cars.
- Take a bus if you live on one of the lines that run all night.
5. Please show your respect and keep quiet to respect the neighbors. We all have this responsibility in order to be able to organize the Easter service at the same time in the following years.
