About the pub and the area.
According to the history of the pub, it is rumored that it is named after King Henry VIII who on 19
May 1536, the day of Anne Boleyn’s beheading, took breakfast under an oak tree in the forest.
The pub is situated in the heart of the vast Epping Forest which is the largest public open space in
the London area. It
was declared open to the public in 1882 by Queen Victoria. Epping Forest offers a variety of recreational activities such as picnics, walking/hiking,
biking, horse riding to name a few and is home to some of the wildlife habitat e.g. deer, birds.
As you can see, there is plenty to do and entertain the whole family. You
can check the Epping Forest website www.cityoflondon.gov.au for the activities on that weekend. So bring the family and make the day of it in the forest. The
pub also has a play area for the children to use.

LIFT FESTIVAL 2008 LONDON
27
& 28 June
Tempest II
Lemi Ponifasio / MAU
/ Supported by Creative New Zealand
Artistic Director
of MAU Lemi Ponifasio returns to Southbank Centre with his new work Tempest II. Ponifasio challenges ideas of justice, ownership
and redemption in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, through personal stories of oppression and resistance. Ponifasio’s
Tempest II uses the mesmeric intensity of traditional Pacific ritual forms to create a highly minimalist contemporary performance
of a staged meeting between the audience and leading Maori activist, Tame Iti.
Tickets: £20 / £15 / £12
To book: call the Southbank Centre Ticket Office
on 0871 663 2529 or visit www.liftfestival.com

EPTV takes the Pacific to viewers around the world.
Source: Event Polynesia
Event Polynesia this week launched its new service, EPTV with three designated online channels, three
YouTube Community channels and another three to be fully operational in the next few months.
According to Mr. Edwin Puni, Managing Director of Event Polynesia, “Online utilities such as YouTube
plus ongoing growth in internet connection access have opened up the Pacific to a whole new audience. EPTV offers a good selection
of online footage that promotes and celebrate the successes of Pacific people all over the world.”
“Tagata Pasefika channel and TV Samoa channel are definitely a popular choice, bringing the sounds
and a glimpse of ‘home’ to the many Pacific people now residing in countries like New Zealand, Australia, USA
and Europe,” Puni added.
EPTV Boxing channel is destined to build a huge international following with free viewing of Event Polynesia
Boxing fight nights covering its grassroots all guts and flair boxing, entertaining fa’afafine boxing, and international
title fights. Event Polynesia Boxing is leading the resurgence of Pacific professional boxing in New Zealand by providing
the much needed tournaments.
Travel and a Business designated channel are the next two to go live on EPTV to promote Pacific destinations
and trade. The new channels will offer Tourist operations and Pacific businesses the opportunity to advertise on EPTV with
an average traffic of 1.2 million a month. For more information about EPTV service, contact info@eventpolynesia.com.
“Media evolution with online publication and streaming has established the Internet as today’s
media choice and Event Polynesia as the most popular Pacific online portal,” said Mr. Puni.
