The Purple Turtle

Reading

VENUE

Purple Turtle has been a staple of Reading nightlife for over 30 years, first opening in 1990 and going strong ever since. The bar first opened on Duke Street before moving over to Gun Street when the Oracle was being built in 1997. It is one of the longest running independent bars in Reading, which is something they are fiercely proud of.
