There's a definite whiff of autumn in the air as the evenings are drawing in. The promise of a 'BBQ summer' left us once again disappointed and we at Pickled egg are already dreaming of a winter warmer. In doing so we are in the process of putting together our 'Top Ten short breaks' from winter sun to cheap ski fun with a range of costs to cover low, medium and higher budgets. Iceland being a firm favourite, still offering great weekends at a competitive price!

This will be the first in our series of completely free 'Top Ten' downloads, which you can request by e-mailing hola@pickledeggevents.com

With just 100 days left till Christmas, it's also time for those of you lucky enough to be organising your corporate Xmas party to get in touch. We have 20 London venues from hip hotels, the hottest nightclubs and funky warehouses you can really put your stamp on with capacity up to 900 people. Look out for next month's issue of 'Top Ten Xmas Party Venues'.
