Packup a picnic
As the evenings get longer and the weather gets warmer, why not take the chance to dine al fresco?
A picnic is the perfect low-cost way to dine with friends, embrace the natural world, and disconnect from digital life after work.
Whether you go for a simple packet of sandwiches and a flask of tea, or a full-on feast in a hamper packed full with canapés and fizz, it’s an experience that every age and class can enjoy.
Let’s just hope our good old British weather stays fine as we roll out our rugs for National Picnic Week, which starts on 17 June. Visit nationalpicnicweek.co.uk for details.
