Prospect Park is a large public park on the western side of Reading, Berkshire, used as an open-air concert and festival site. Its headline annual event is Cafe Mambo Ibiza In The Park — a one-day festival bringing the White Isle's dance and house sound to Reading, with the 2026 edition (Mambo In The Park) on Saturday 15 August featuring DJs and performers such as Kings of Tomorrow, Sandy Rivera, Michael Gray and Brandon Block. The festival runs roughly midday to 10:30pm with on-site bars and food vendors; no food or drink may be brought in. It functions as a seasonal outdoor music venue rather than a year-round indoor space.
