What's on in May?

For coverage on the home page of this site and our weekly newsletter which goes to over 1900 local people send us full details of your event.

First priority goes to events which are paying to be listed. Any community based non-profit events will receive prominent coverage subject to the availability of space.

Commercial events can get free coverage but during busy times of the year there is often no available space.

Generally events from outside the area are not listed unless there is a significant connection with Putney or Roehampton.

If you are paying to promote your events in other local media don't expect a significant amount of free coverage on this site. Costs for event promotion start at £30.

If an event at your favourite venue or club doesn't appear on our site just tell the organisers to get in touch with us and it will be added .

Culinary Pleasures has been shortlisted for this year's prestigious Andre Simon award.

He was brought up in a household where real food was an important part of every day and where cooking skills were nurtured from as early an age as he can remember.
