The biggest production @RABBLE_Theatre has ever undertaken starts tonight in the @RdgAbbey ruins. The company’s Co-artistic director Toby Davies tells us about it:

A big thank you to all who attended the IBB "Call my Bluff" wine tasting at @ValpyStreet in Reading yesterday. Thank you also, to the team at Valpy's for great wine, food & entertainment. #IBBEvents #IBBLaw #IBBThamesValley

We hosted the IBB call my bluff wine tasting last night. Lovely people who seemed to enjoy all our wines other than the Provence! #SimonBlunden #WineTasting #thamesvalley #IBBEvents #IBBThamesValley #IBBLaw

We've got the amazing Anne-Marie from @TheGrumpyGoat_ here today, brewing a beer to celebrate the new production of Henry I from @RABBLE_Theatre. Look out for the beer on sale at performances, @ValpyStreet and other venues across Reading from June 9th. More details soon!

Caversham is a very very lucky village. @ClaysKitchenBar thank you for your amazing hospitality, you have created something very special.

We’re doing a 25 mile walk on Sunday for this wonderful charity and are offering the incentive of a free glass of Prosecco for all those that can show confirmation of a donation on their next visit. I know it’s short notice but please help if you can. justgiving.com/fundraising/Bo…

@berkandbite @cleanplateblog @69thecraftychef @KungfuReading @ClaysHyderabadi Thank you!

@cleanplateblog @69thecraftychef @KungfuReading is amazing as is @ClaysHyderabadi. I also like the Thames Lido for tapas. Papa Gee is a lovely family run Italian restaurant. @ValpyStreet is also another great option. I guess it all depends on what you’re looking for :)
