Does anyone know when Reading offer holder days are?

I can't see offer holder dates on the website. DD is likely to get an offer (far higher predicted grades than required) but only submitted her application last week so we are still waiting. Im trying to plan weekends when we might be able to go and visit.

Most unis don't have them on their web sites, but send out details either with their offer letter or shortly afterwards. I think it's because most offer days are only for a few subjects, perhaps just a single faculty, rather than the free-for-all of open days and it is therefore easier to keep them on a need-to-know basis to stop people turning up to the wrong ones.
Once she has an offer, she could try ringing the relevant department to see if they have the dates sorted.

I'm not sure MN is going to be able to tell you, especially without you saying what subject. I think it's worth asking the faculty though, even before an offer. What's the worst that could happen? They are working hard to attract people and seem extremely keen to reach out.

Reading gave DD a contextual offer 2 days after her application went in, so hopefully you will not be waiting long.

Not sure for Reading specifically but don’t assume it’s weekend. One my dc went to was a Wednesday.
