SUMMARY:Artful Sips - Spring Wine Tasting at BobCat Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Spring with an evening where art and wine come together! \nJoin wine expert Shehnaz Hansraj\, presenter of the TV show The A-Z of Wine with Shehnaz\, for a relaxed and engaging guided tasting of thoughtfully selected wines on Thursday 16th April\, 6 – 7.30pm\, at BobCat Gallery. \nWhether you are new to wine or already a passionate enthusiast\, this tasting promises an approachable and enjoyable experience filled with flavour\, insight\, and inspiration. \nIncluded in Your Ticket:\n• A guided wine tasting suitable for beginners and wine lovers alike\n• Four carefully selected wines showcasing different regions and grape varieties\n• Expert hints and tips on choosing great quality wines without breaking the bank\n• Food and wine pairing ideas for dinner at home\, date night\, or confidently selecting wine from a restaurant menu \nCome sip\, swirl\, and savour the best of Spring in a creative and welcoming setting.

Her travels have taken her to France\, Spain\, Portugal\, South Africa\, Argentina\, Chile\, Lebanon\, Canada\, New Zealand\, Australia\, Croatia\, Germany\, Austria\, Italy\, Greece\, and closer to home\, vineyards across England and Wales. \nCountless tastings and several wine qualifications later\, her appreciation has only deepened for the geography\, history\, culture\, and food that shape and influence different wine styles around the world. \nShehnaz firmly believes there is a wine for everyone. The key? Keep an open mind and be willing to explore new and unfamiliar grapes or regions — curiosity in wine is almost always rewarded.

SUMMARY:Knit and Natter
DESCRIPTION:Join Putney Library’s Knit and Natter group every Thursday afternoon from 2-4pm. This popular weekly gathering brings together knitters\, crocheters\, and textile craft enthusiasts for two hours of creative activity and friendly conversation in a relaxed social setting. \nWhether you’re an experienced knitter working on intricate patterns\, a beginner just learning to cast on\, or somewhere in between\, you’ll find a warm welcome here. The group is self-directed\, meaning members bring their own projects and work at their own pace while enjoying the companionship of fellow crafters. \nKnit and Natter offers numerous benefits beyond the crafts themselves: reduce stress and anxiety through the meditative rhythm of needlework\, maintain mental agility and fine motor skills\, share patterns\, techniques\, and creative inspiration\, make friends and combat social isolation\, and contribute to community charity projects when the group organizes them. \nThe Thursday afternoon timing makes this an ideal mid-week activity\, providing a peaceful interlude in busy schedules. Many members appreciate the dedicated time to focus on their craft projects while engaging in the kind of easy\, flowing conversation that gives the group its name. \nNo registration required – simply drop in with your knitting\, crochet\, or other textile project. Bring your own supplies\, patterns\, and works-in-progress. Beginners are very welcome; experienced members are always happy to share tips and help troubleshoot. \nFor more information about Knit and Natter and other social activities at Putney Library\, contact 020 8780 3085 or email Putney.Library@GLL.org.

SUMMARY:West Putney Met Ward Panel Meeting
DESCRIPTION:West Putney residents are invited to attend the next Ward Panel Meeting hosted by the local Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT)\, taking place on Tuesday 10th March 2026 at 18:30 at Granard Primary School\, Cortis Road\, SW15 6XA. \nWard Panel Meetings are a vital part of community policing in Putney and the surrounding SW15 area.

All residents are welcome\, and every voice counts. \nIf you are unable to attend but would like to raise a local concern\, the team asks that you complete the Local Matters Survey\, which allows residents to flag issues even if they cannot be present in person. \nGranard Primary School is located on Cortis Road\, SW15 6XA\, and is easily accessible from Putney town centre and the surrounding West Putney neighbourhood. Street parking is available on Cortis Road and nearby residential streets. \nFor more information about the West Putney Safer Neighbourhood Team and local policing priorities\, visit the Metropolitan Police website.

SUMMARY:Fiction & Non-Fiction Book Club – "Travels with Charley" by John Steinbeck
DESCRIPTION:Waterstones Putney’s Fiction and Non-Fiction Book Club meets on Thursday evening to discuss Travels with Charley in Search of America by John Steinbeck – a beloved American road trip memoir that remains as resonant today as when it was first published in 1962. \nIn this charming and reflective travelogue\, Nobel Prize-winning novelist Steinbeck sets off across America in a camper truck with his standard poodle Charley\, rediscovering the vast country he had written about so memorably in works like The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men.

Sessions are an hour long\, free to attend\, and open to all – whether you’ve read every word or are still working through the final chapters. \nWaterstones Putney is conveniently located at 5 Exchange Centre\, Putney High Street (SW15 1TW)\, within easy reach of East Putney tube station and Putney railway station. \nKeep an eye on @PutneyWaterstones on Instagram for upcoming book choices and in-store author events.

SUMMARY:Music in Germany Between the Wars
DESCRIPTION:Putney Library presents ‘Music in Germany Between the Wars’ on Thursday 22 January at 6:30pm\, an expert-led exploration of music composed during the Weimar Republic period. This free cultural talk in SW15 examines the remarkable artistic output between 1918-1933\, from Expressionism to Cabaret\, revealing music’s crucial role during this turbulent era in German history. The presentation is led by Katy Homden\, Putney Library Manager and music historian who received her PhD from Bournemouth University with a thesis exploring the relationship between opera and radio during the Weimar Republic. Dr Homden also teaches music history at City Literature Institute\, bringing academic expertise to this accessible public lecture.

From the intellectual rigour of the Second Viennese School to the provocative satire of Brecht and Weill’s collaborations\, Weimar Germany produced some of the 20th century’s most influential musical works. This talk at Putney Library offers music lovers\, history enthusiasts\, and culturally curious Wandsworth residents a scholarly yet engaging examination of this fascinating period. Free admission with advance booking required via Eventbrite. Perfect for adults interested in classical music\, cultural history\, and the intersection of art and politics.
