*** TASTE OF BURGUNDY - TWO DOUBLE ROOMS STILL AVAILABLE ***

23rd-30th June, 2012

It's raining chats et chiens in the UK. Why not treat yourself to a week in France?

No matter what the heir to the throne has to say on the matter, we are continuing to enjoy a miserable spring. To those of us dodging huge water sprays put up by passing cars, the hosepipe ban seems little more than an insult. Why not cheer yourself up by booking a holiday? We have two double rooms still available on our Taste of Burgundy trip. You will be based at the stunning Maison du Chateau near Montbard, and will spend a week in the company of our wine expert Robert Joseph, learning about wines, sampling delicious food, touring the exquisite countryside of Burgundy. To find out more, please ring Charlotte Fairbairn at the office on 0207 436 8801. Or click here for the full itinerary.


In the week the Damien Hirst perspective opened in London, The Oldie and Ecclesiastical Insurance announced the OBAs - and a stunning £5000 art prize

Does Damien Hirst or the very thought of him bring you out in a cold sweat? Do dots make you cry? Are you one of those Brian Sewell aficionados who thinks art belongs on a canvas and in recognisable form? If the answer to these questions is yes and you are over 60 and you consider yourself artistically capable, then why not enter our new Oldie British Artists Award? For an application form and more information, go to Lunches & Courses and click on OBAs
