Competition

Thresher Wine Shop is celebrating its centenary by throwing one of the summer's biggest parties - in Battersea Park - next month. The Thresher Drinks Party offers three days of revelry (Fri 5-Sun 7 Jun). Brit Award-winner Shola Ama headlines, with support from Omar, the SAS band and more. As well as great music, you can sample some 200 wines for free, chill at outdoor cafes and seafood centres or buy wine at low prices.

Tickets for the festival tickets are pounds 5-pounds 15 (credit card hotline: 0870 121 0120) and include two free drinks, but 10 lucky readers can win a pair of free tickets for Friday night's event, featuring Shola Ama and Omar.
