What's On
KINGSTON MUSEUM EXHIBITION- MY LIFE IN A BOX
Kingston Museum is proud to present this exciting and innovative exhibition. Visitors will not only be able to witness art in action as our art gallery is transformed into a working studio space, but also to become both exhibit and exhibitor. Groups and individuals will use the gallery space to produce artwork which represents aspects of their lives, but with one catch - it must all fit inside a box! A series of artist-led workshops will help people design and create their 'My Life in a Box' artwork. The completed artworks will then be added to the growing exhibition in the Gallery to provide an inspirational backdrop for further workshops. Get creative inside the box by thinking outside the box!

£1 DISHES AT ZIZZI THIS JULY
ENJOY ONE MAIN MEAL FOR £1 AT ZIZZI WITH OUR MINI ITALIAN TASTE TOUR
TO GET YOUR VOUCHER LOG ON WWW.ZIZZI.CO.UK
Never got round to going on that dream trip round Italy? Well don't worry, let Zizzi take you on a mini-taste tour, all from the comfort of your local restaurant. We're now offering £1 main meals when you buy any other, that's what we call having your warm duck salad and eating it!
This month we're introducing our new seasonal specials, giving you a great opportunity to try something new as well as getting an extra dish for only £1. What's more, we're letting all of our classic pizza, pastas, risottos and salads in on the act too. Buon appetito!
Choose from our lightly roasted Asparagus starter, drizzled with lemon, olive oil, grana padano cheese and cracked pepper. Then there's the Pollo Milanese. Fashionable Milan's famous breaded chicken, infused with thyme and accompanied by spaghetti, with a rich santos tomato sauce. The perfect food for when you come back from the catwalk, darling.
If it's a salad that takes your fancy, try our Duck Insalata, roasted shredded duck, mixed with spring onion, grana padano cheese, lentils and crispy pancetta.
To finish with, why not choose our Creamy Pannacotta - an old Piedmontese favourite from the North of Italy. Our vanilla version is sprinkled with icing sugar and bordered by a raspberry coulis.
So come and join us on a mini taste tour of Italy this summer, without even leaving the restaurant!
