As the nice weather continues we've got some scorching events coming up at Frontline. Join us on Friday for the Media That Matters film festival, which showcases 12 films under 12 minutes covering an array of provocative issues.

Next Tuesday, June 8, the latest in our On the Media series of panel discussions tackles the challenges facing local and regional media in the UK: what is the future for local newspapers, broadcasters and online media?

Tickets are still available for tonight's First Wednesday event on Iran, in which an expert panel will discuss the problems facing Iran both at home and abroad.

And as World Cup fever approaches, we have something for sports fans too: you can also now book a table in our clubroom to watch England's group stage games on 12th and 18th June, both at 7.30pm. Call us on 0207 479 8953 for more information.
