An Evening of Jean-Luc Colombo Wines

Friday 29 May, The Wharf, 7pm Start.

The Wharf's exclusive wine dinner will run from 7pm on Friday, 29 May and "promises a refined yet relaxed experience, where outstanding Rhône Valley wines meet a beautifully curated three-course menu".

The Wharf said: "From the moment you arrive, you'll be welcomed with an aperitif and canapés before settling in for a feast inspired by the rich culinary traditions of the Rhône Valley.

"This cuisine is a celebration of bold, honest flavours—combining the rustic, slow-cooked dishes of northern France with the sun-soaked influences of the Mediterranean.

"Expect a style of cooking that highlights seasonal ingredients, aromatic herbs, and a deep connection between food and wine, all designed to complement and elevate the character of each glass."

Each course for the event has been thoughtfully paired with wines from Jean-Luc Colombo's celebrated portfolio.

Puccini - Mannon Lescaut

Saturday 30 May & Sunday 31 May, Normansfield Theatre, 2pm & 3pm.

Rose Opera returns to Normansfield Theatre this spring with Puccini's Manon Lescaut — a passionate tale of love, obsession and heartbreak, performed with full orchestra and chorus.

Running for just five performances between 30 May and 7 June, the production combines large-scale theatrical design, an international cast and some of Puccini's most glorious music.

This new staging features a distinctive concept by Stage Director Callie Nestleroth, evocative designs by Fred Broom, and musical direction from Lewis Gaston conducting Rose Opera Orchestra and Chorus.

Rose Opera has built a reputation for ambitious and imaginative productions at Normansfield Theatre, and Manon Lescaut promises to be one of its most exciting projects yet.

Teddington RNLI Open Day

Sunday 31 May, Teddington RNLI Lifeboat Station, 12pm - 4pm.

Look out for local promotions like a Lifeboat Treasure Hunt in Teddington independent shops and special activities in restaurants and pubs.

On the Open Day everyone is invited to visit the lifeboat station to celebrate the week of events and enjoy a day of river-themed fun and activities, including the now-famous, duck race.

1600 ducks raced along the Thames at Teddington in 2025 and over £5,000 was raised for the RNLI. Activities are still being planned, but visitors will be able to:

· Climb aboard a lifeboat and its tractor

· See lifesaving demonstrations by volunteer crew

· Enjoy food and drink from local outlets such as Shambles, The Anglers and The Wharf, as well as RNLI volunteer-made cakes, tea, coffee and cold drinks

· Cheer along the Teddington Duck Race supported by Teddington Together, representatives of Teddington independent businesses who put on Teddington Lights Up each year.

· Meet firefighters and see a fire engine

· Play water safety themed games

· Get gory with a make up artist

· Hear ukulele and wind bands play favourite tunes
