The event will take place on Saturday 27th March outside the steps of the Council Chambers in the Market Square, Newbury and will run from 10:00am to 2:00pm.
The event has different age groups so as to be inclusive of the adult community and the wider spectrum of youth in West Berkshire who also want to say what's on their mind.
