1) Welcome to Shinfield
Shinfield is a thriving village and civil parish in the Borough of Wokingham, Berkshire, located just south of Reading—about three miles from the town centre—and covering around 4,313 acres. Its name, derived from Old English as “Shining Field”, refers to the gleaming flood-meadows beside the River Loddon. With a rich history, Shinfield dates back to Anglo-Saxon times and hosted RAF Shinfield Park from 1940 to 1977; that site later became the Met Office College and today is part of residential and commercial development including the new Shinfield Studios. Anchored around the village green—known as School Green—with neighbourhood pubs like The Bell and Bottle and The Royal Oak, a village school, and recreational spaces, Shinfield offers a safe and connected. The arrival of Shinfield Studios in 2024 within the Thames Valley Science Park has added a creative and economic boost, bringing future-looking opportunities to the area.
