Events going on in Brentford

Air, Watermans

From award-winning director Ben Affleck, Air reveals the unbelievable game-changing partnership between a then rookie Michael Jordan and Nike's fledgling basketball division which revolutionized the world of sports and contemporary culture with the Air Jordan brand.

This moving story follows the career-defining gamble of an unconventional team with everything on the line, the uncompromising vision of a mother who knows the worth of her son's immense talent, and the basketball phenom who would become the greatest of all time.

TV's Paul Martin to visit and give talk at Syon House

TV presenter Paul Martin who found fame on the Flog It! antiques show is to give a talk at Syon House, Thursday, 20 April, 2 - 6 pm.

Event includes talk in The Great Hall, house tour and afternoon tea in The Great Conservatory with book signing.

Paul will be able to meet members of the public afterwards.

Paul, who grew up nearby in Teddington, said the outstanding history of the home is a huge draw for antique enthusiasts.   

He said: "Syon House really is a 'must-see' for me – there's so much to learn and that's why I keep coming back. It is an architectural delight that has been lived in by the same family for generations and beautifully curated. 

"It's a lesson in history and heritage for all art and antique lovers that brings together works of Robert Adam, Thomas Chippendale and Capability Brown and is a celebration of their obsession to excellence and detail, not to mention the vast collections from The Grand Tour, where the neo-classical meets the classical and in places transports you back to ancient Rome."
