Aston Martins and Lamborghinis parked on Torre Abbey Meadow, Sunseeker yachts on Torquay's harbourside, a Victory motorcycle at Meadfoot Beach and a glamorous Super Rock Ball at the Riviera Centre - can this be the English Riviera? Yes, the Super Weekend is coming to town - a celebration of supercars, superyachts and superbikes bringing elegance, glamour and style in its wake.

In honour of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee - and to recognise an extra bank holiday - Vinopolis, London's premier wine and food tasting experience, will be hosting a weekend of extravagant food-themed events to celebrate our Monarch. On Sunday 3rd June, as thousands of boats float down the Thames as part of the Thames Diamond Jubilee Package, what better way to enjoy the celebrations and soak up the atmosphere than with a ringside seat at Vinopolis, nested near the banks of the river.

The UK Government has committed in law to cutting the country's greenhouse emissions 80% by 2050. With our industrialized food and farming system currently responsible for around 30% of UK emissions and 30% of our individual carbon footprint down to our food choices, it's clear that we need to make fundamental changes to the way we grow, source and eat our food. Only radical changes to our diets and farming systems can achieve the level of greenhouse gas cuts needed.
