As we get well and truly into summer that means warmer weather and the sun shining bright (although as we Brits know that\u2019s not always the case<\/em>). But when we do get those rare days, boy do we take advantage with a summer picnic!\u00a0In light of National Picnic Week starting on the 16th<\/sup> of June and running until the 25th<\/sup>, we thought we\u2019d do a rundown on how to plan the perfect picnic. We\u2019ve got a whole bunch of outdoor picnic ideas all the way from yummy food suggestions to what you need to remember to bring along with you!<\/p>\n

A garden party is more of a planned sit-down meal in your garden where you can either put on a spread, have set dishes, or do some sort of posh BBQ or tea party. We\u2019ve got a whole other blog delving into how to organise the perfect garden party<\/a> if you\u2019re interested in finding out more.<\/p>\n

Whereas typically with a picnic you pack \u2018more casual\u2019 food to take to another location, usually a park or another spot with beautiful scenery and nature. However, this isn\u2019t to say you can\u2019t host a great picnic in the comfort of your own garden.<\/p>\n

Now you know exactly what is and isn\u2019t<\/em> a picnic, it\u2019s time to get into the nitty-gritty parts of planning. But if you don\u2019t think you\u2019ve got what it takes to plan a picnic yourself, don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re here to help!<\/p>\n
