We can finally meet up with other
households but it’s going to be
outside only for a while yet. Let’s
make the most of it then with good
planning and some fun accessories.

• Research your perfect picnic spot carefully. How
far is it from the car park and is there a charge
for parking? Are there toilets? Can you bring your
dog? Is there somewhere to shelter if it’s too hot
or there’s a sudden shower.
• Pack everything you need for the day: water,
sunscreen, a lightweight waterproof (just in case),
warmer layers and the all-important face mask
and hand-santiser. A plastic bag for your rubbish
will be handy too.
• Decorate your picnic area with battery-powered
fairy lights, lanterns and some bunting. Get comfy
with camping chairs or deck chairs, using your
picnic basket as a handy side table. Music adds
atmosphere so take a Bluetooth speaker.
• Bring along games that all the family can play.
Rounders and croquet are great, or organise a
treasure hunt, play hide and seek, or set up an
old-school egg-and-spoon or sack race.
• The best picnic food? Anything you can eat with
your fingers. Sandwiches, mini pies, kebabs,
chopped vegetables with dips, plus fruit and
something sweet, for example.
