What's on this week?
* A FAMOUS wine tasting competition will be recreated at The Dukes tomorrow, Saturday, when film audiences are invited to compare a selection of Californian and French wines before a screening of Bottle Shock.
The Paris Wine Tasting of 1976 or the 'Judgment of Paris' had French judges blind tasting top-quality wines from France and California.
California wines rated best in each category, causing great surprise as France was regarded as producer of the world's best wines.
Bottle Shock, a new film starring Alan Rickman, tells the true story of these tastings which put Californian wines on the map for good.
The wine tasting begins at 6.30pm and will be hosted by Wineyard and Deli and sponsored by Morecambe Bay Wines.
The film begins at 8.45pm with an additional screening on Monday 29 June.
Tickets cost 8 for the film and wine tasting and can be booked in advance from The Dukes Box Office on 598500 or www.dukeslancaster.org.
* AN exhibition looking at the world of fairy stories has opened at the Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston.
The show features illustrations from the 1790s to the current day and includes works by William Blake, David Hockney and Richard Dadd. There will also be the chance to examine the Cottingley fairy photographs which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle believed proved that fairies really exist.
The show is on until September 5 and entrance is free.
