Stuck for what to do this week? Here are a few things to change it up a bit. Get out and about, have a bite to eat, see a film, add a bit of culture, help the environment and get your toes wet!

This week is the start of Rishi’s Dishes otherwise known as the Eat Out to Help Out scheme set up by the Government to bolster the hospitality industry by giving up to 50% off food and non- alcoholic drinks, up to the value of £10 per person, at all restaurants, cafes and pubs that sign up to the scheme.

You can get your monies worth from over forty venues listed in the area every Mon-Weds for the whole of August. Great for date nights, meals out with the kids or if you just want to treat yourself after cooking at home for the past five months!

The Regal Picturehouse Henley’s arthouse cinema finally re-opens it’s doors and with it, new release Proxima.

Eva Green gives a career best performance in this epic and emotionally charged new drama from acclaimed director Alice Winocour. Green plays Sarah, a French astronaut training at the European Space Agency in Cologne. The only woman in the arduous programme she has been chosen to be part of the crew of a year-long space mission called ‘Proxima’. Putting enormous strain on her relationship with her daughter (played by outstanding newcomer Zélie Boulant-Lemesle), the training begins to take its toll on both as Sarah’s training progresses and the launch looms ever closer.

Featuring stunning performances from the entire cast which includes Matt Dillon, Lars Eidinger and Sandra Hüller, Winocour’s new film is an unmissable cinematic experience which will take audiences on a gripping, emotional and life-affirming journey.

Other films showing 100% Wolf, Onward, Parasite (Black & White) and Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. For more information or to book tickets visit www.picturehouses.com/cinema/regal-picturehouse

Where: 2, Boroma Way, Henley-on-Thames, Oxon RG9 2BZ
