In honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee - and to recognise an extra bank holiday - Vinopolis, London's premier wine and food tasting experience, will be hosting a weekend of extravagant food-themed events to celebrate our Monarch.

A new wine holiday, hosted by leading wine connoisseur Oz Clarke and Vinopolis' resident expert Tom Forrest, is now on sale.

RSPCA Week has been running every year since 1995 to raise income for - and awareness of - the extensive work the RSPCA does. Over £320,000 was raised last year by loyal supporters and the next RSPCA Week runs from Monday 30th April - Sunday 6th May 2012. This year RSPCA vice-president and actor Brian Blessed is helping to raise awareness and support for RSPCA Week because he, like us, believes animals deserve better.
