In the meadow below our house next to the River Dee with our grandchildren. Old fashioned traditional picnic food with “lashings” of lemonade. Life doesn’t get much better.
Petit Bot Beach, Guernsey…….
My favourite ever picnic was sitting at the hospital bedside of my late father, sharing all of his favourite foods all the while playing cribbage. It is one of the last memories I have of him and is a very special one.

Sitting in the sunshine with friends at a picnic table overlooking the River Dee between the Wirral and Wales. Bliss!
My best picnic did not include a Fortnum and Mason hamper but instead home made goodies prepared by my Italian friend outside her house at Lago Trasimeno. The hilarious feature was wooden implements made by her husband from salvaged sticks and cut wood.
It is always the company that makes a picnic memorable as much as the food eaten. Today is another cold, grey day of our so called summer.
A Fortnum and Mason hamper would make even an indoor picnic feel special and make a lovely memory for this summer which has had few good days.
Had a wonderful family picnic on hope beach,shanklin.
At the top of Kitzbuhelerhorn during a heatwave.

Virginia Waters in Surrey on a first date – memories of the picnic last long after memories of the short lived romance 😂
As the helicopter swooped over the Hoover Dam my stomach lurched. How was I going to manage breakfast after this? We swirled downwards, and gently landed right inside the Grand Canyon. Wow! Breathtaking. A short while later, our pilot and chef was rustling up pancakes, warm croissants and a delicious array of cold meats and cheeses. All washed down with iced cold champagne. Our breakfast picnic in the Arizona desert was an experience never to be forgotten.
Our best picnic was on Mooloolaba beach in Australia. Friends took us to watch dawn break on the morning of our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We swam in the sea and enjoyed a lovely feast prepared by our friends.
On a train from Beijing to Chengu in China
On the banks of Loch Fyne at Cairndow in Argyllshire! A spectacular location that really is hard to beat. Spent my childhood here many. many years ago and revisited it in 2020 with my two boys (39 and 18) on a gorgeous summer trip around the west of Scotland. Views to die for and just a great spot for a picnic!
Oahu, Hawaii was so serine and stunning, a 50th birthday treat I will never forget. The whole island and the people were magical. (a real bonus was no mossies eating me alive)
On the top of Siguriya rock in Sri Lanka…..and boy did I need it after that climb!!

A balmy summer’s evening at Wallington Hall, Northumberland, waiting for the open-air performance of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” to begin. Simple fare, but a fabulous setting as the birds circled homewards and the distant sheep settled for the night . . . .
I won a champagne picnic hamper at a “last night at the Proms” evening at Westonbirt Arboretum many years ago. The evening was balmy, the stars shone, the music amazing and we were the envy of all our neighbours as they tucked into the sandwiches. Made us feel very special.
Went to a Zippo Circus show on Sunday past with three generations of my family. It was absolutely fantastic. Would recommend to anyone!
Some of my fondest childhood memories are picnics in fields on days out with my family where my uncle would boil a kettle to make tea on a Primus stove – I can still recall the smell. We would eat hard boiled eggs and bread and butter and home made jam tarts
In Hyde Park, London. Cheese and wine picnic
My favourite picnic was at the first outdoor concert we took our kids to – watching Jules Holland at Eastnor Castle. We had a beautiful spread made up by the local deli to take with us.

On the Palatine Hill in Rome overlooking the Forum.
Listening to Summer open air concert at Gawsworth Hall.
Starfish Point Grand Cayman. This beautiful area abounds in sea life and the beach is usually reasonably quiet. There is a good parking area, changing/toilet/shower facilities, and a short walk takes you to some relatively unspoilt areas to pitch down your chair and sit and chill with a delicious picnic and a glass of something. There are one or two eateries a short drive away if you want something extra on the way home, but the entire ambience is one of peace and chill. Just don’t pick any starfish out of the water, please. It’s not kind!
My most unusual place was having a breakfast picnic on top of the Great Pyramid of Giza watching the sunrise over Cairo. This was MANY years ago when such things were possible (albeit still not allowed)

Best ever picnic was a picnic that I won at the Sunset concert in Jersey. Overlooking the sea, watching a lovely concert with friends and family as the sun went down. Perfect.
My favourite picnic was in Pompeii, Italy. We collected a lovely box of Italian cheeses and charcuterie from the local delicatessen near our hotel and ate it, just like the Pompeians would have, in the park behind the main open air theatre in Pompeii. It was January 2023 so not many people around and it felt very authentic – no togas though, it was far too cold!!

My best ever picnic was when we were visiting our daughter who was in Australia studying for a year. We spent Christmas Day on the beach in Cairns with a tasty picnic, lapping up the sun, sand and beautiful sea. As we we were Brits, we wore Santa hats, which left the locals a bit bemused!
In our garden at home, many years ago, with the best iced coffee made by Mum – calm, serene, delicious!

In the grounds of Towneley Hall, Burnley, UK. A teddy bears picnic in the woods of course….
I must have been on hundreds of picnics over the years but I do still remember a picnic I had when I was less than seven years old. My dad was very good at baking, especially lovely loaves of bread. Along with my mum and my sisters we climbed up to the top of the Worcestershire Beacon and looked at the wonderful view. Apparently you can see 14 counties on a clear day! We found a sheltered spot and ate crusty bread and cheese, crumbly sausage rolls, home grown tomatoes, all washed down with Malvern spring water. We had filled our bottles at St Anne’s Well after walking up the 99 steps and believe me, Malvern water tastes as good as champagne when you are thirsty!
Overlooking Three Cliffs Bay, Gower, SWANSEA.
Early morning game drive on the Nambiti game reserve – incredible sunrise and snacking treats such as warthog biltong with strong coffee and cake. Almost surreal but it really happened!

My best picnic was at Niagara Falls with my aunt, uncle and three cousins who had moved to Canada in 1960. I was only 14 when I went there and had travelled alone to see her. I immediately felt at home in Canada and remember each moment of that visit to this day even though it was almost 50 years ago. The only problem with a picnic there was the spray off the falls made us all really wet through but it was so much fun.
A family picnic near home in the Lake District.
Funny memory but a good one. Best picnic ever was a pub outing to Biggin Hill Air Show. I’d taken egg mayo sandwiches, crisps and a drink. My fellow passengers had packed asparagus wrapped in Parma ham, crab claws and home made pate and crackers with champers of course. We all tucked into everything. No one’s efforts were better than others. Superb day out.
Lake beach on the Isle of Wight, my happy place from childhood with fond memories of meat paste sandwiches wrapped in a recycled bread paper. I still dance in the waves there whenever I visit.
In the park on the hillside overlooking the museums at Greenwich – a wonderful view of London!

We had a fabulous picnic in a village by the Mekong river
Crossing from Wales to Ireland by ferry, with friends and three children, we decided to start our holiday in style. While other travelers headed for the cafeteria or unwrapped their sandwiches we unpacked the smoked chicken, pate, French stick, Brie and nectarines and tucked in washing it down with bubbles of course. Probably the best meal of that holiday.
Lake side in Iceland watching the sun not go down (24 hour days).

It must be the picnic in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa. What a country, what a picnic! Yearning to return…
I’ve travelled a lot but one of the picnics that I have enjoyed most is another quintessentially British experience. At Killerton, National Trust, on their magnificent lawn with my family. Grandchildren were singing in their primary school choir before us with the beautiful rolling Devon hills behind. This hamper would have just hit the spot! If I were fortunate enough to win, we could all go back and enjoy revisiting those memories
My most memorable picnic was in the Amazon Forest in French Guyana – with many different birds and animals around us.
On our 30th wedding anniversary we got up at 4o’clock in the morning, driven through the countryside to a waiting hot air balloon and fantastic ride over the Masai Mara looking at herds of wildebeest.

My best picnic ever was on the beach at Bambrough Northumberland near the castle with my late wife and saughte when she was a toddler The weather was good and the food tasted great!. I
At the side of the road in Yosemite in the snow. We had not expected the snow of an El Nino year, with it being Easter. So we sat on the boot of the car at the side of the road. We had snow to our knees and shorts just above them! It was a long time ago (pre internet weather forecasts) but is still very memorable.
Not my picnic but my husband’s who served in the Royal Navy. It is tradition when a ship deploys to enjoy a banyan (BBQ) on foreign shores, my husband & his department decided to do something different with a picnic on the beach in St Thomas – tablecloths, sandwiches, sausage rolls etc & plenty of liquid refreshment much to the amusement of the locals, culminating in a friendly football match with them, a fun day had by all.
On Boulders beach near Cape Town
Took a cruise with MSC on the Opera, not as large as recent cruise offerings, but stylish with good food and entertainment. However a problem experienced was the cruise being like a bus service round the Med, we were expected to change cabins twice, although one didn’t happen and we only had to change the last night, which was frustrating even though we had substantially packed again for our return and MSC staff transferred the bags. Take care when making your bookings.
A memorable picnic was during a trip to Mumbai, stayed at the Tajj Mahal, before the terrorists messed it up. Hotel provided a picnic lunch and I took a small boat to Elephanta Island. Wonderful sights with few other people. Bought a beautiful wall hanging handmade from scraps and driftwood made by a very pleasant Indian girl. I took the boat from a jetty near the ceremonial arch close to the Taj. Suspect not many visitors would be aware of the opportunity. I was travelling alone but it was perfect peace.
Alderney, first ever holiday and watched the birds as they soared over the coast.
Lockdown over but still limited contact with others. Met my daughter and granddaughter and took their dog for a walk. We enjoyed a picnic on the riverbank. It rained (fortunately only light rain) but we carried on regardless and had a wonderful few hours together

The men took the children on a “safari” and left my sister in law and me to set up the picnic.
We had just finished and the food looked lovely and very appetising. Unfortunately 2 large goannas thought the same and as they ran at us at speed. My sis and I made a hasty retreat to the safety of our wagon.
When the men and children got back. The goannas were long gone, along with our food. And the picnic site looked like a disaster area. Sis and I were still locked in the wagon crying with laughter as we tried to tell the men just what had happened 🤣🤣🤣🤣
not a difficult decision to recall —————Sunset at the foot of Ayers Rock in Australia !!!

On the banks of the Long Water during the RHS Hampton Court Flower Festival in July this year. My husband and I sat in the sun eating our picnic (sandwiches bought from the contributers’ catering tent) during a quick break from being on duty at our plant society’s display in the Floral Marquee. The hummus and roasted vegetable sandwiches were delicious but I was rather jealous of the people around us who all seemed to have Fortnum and Mason baskets from the nearby collection point and were popping Champagne corks and no doubt eating much more interesting food than us. However, I felt rather smug that we had two more days to enjoy such a wonderful view and atmosphere.
On the beach in Barbados
At the Popeye Village in Malta with my family when the children were little, it was so much fun and no spinach was eaten!

Best picnicking was in the Saudi Arabian Empty Quarter, just outside of Abqaiq. It was a friend, Eileen, her husband, Tom, and myself. We had a breakfast picnic so it wasn’t in the heat of the day. Tea, Zatar flatbreads,salad, cooked meats and eggs were the main part of our picnic. But the best part was being in the middle of the sand dunes, deathly quiet, watching the blistering sun slowly rise up the sky. Nothing has ever been like it, and I don’t think I will have an experience like it again.
Outside our camper van in the early morning as the mist rose above St Mary’s Loch in the Borders and we ate a bowl of porridge.
When we were kids we had proper picnics, we carried a tank with a tap for water and a kettle with a little blue gas canister to heat water for tea.
These days it is a sandwich, with sausage roll, fruit and wine
Best picnic ever was on a small island in the Maldives, arranged by our hotel in Makanudu. It was our honeymoon, and we were delivered to this small uninhabited island where beach chairs were set out, with a huge brolly. There was a magnificent picnic of local Maldivian dishes, plus a bottle of champers, on ice. Left on our own for 6 hrs, we ate, swam and sunbathed. It was sheer heaven. Wish it could have happened every day.
Had a lovely picnic on Kangeroo Island watching all the wild life and looking out to sea, seeing pods of dolphins .
Best picnic ever was March 1989. I had just passed my exams to be a Member of the Royal College of Physicians so my boyfriend and I went to Paris. It was a budget trip as we had very little money.

This year we celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary!

On our allotment. With the sun on our faces, a rustling breeze in our fruit bushes and the squirrels being cheeky in the hedgerow. Cheese and tomato sarnies (of course) and a flask of coffee. Simple things are the best.

As I love Greece, I made a picnic with Greek food in 2021, to have in my back garden. There was spanakopita, giant beans, Greek style garlic lamb, tsatziki, a Greek salad, all home made with crusty, sourdough bread. It was to treat my brother, sister in law and best friend, all Grecophiles, who had given me such wonderful support when I lost my husband in 2019.

But the view, the peace, the colour, were breathtaking. Snow covered mountain, warm meadow, beautiful wild flowers, absolute peace. It was the best ever picnic.

I enjoyed my best ever picnic on the beach at Polzeath in Cornwall.
My best ever picnic was in the Masai Mara after landing from a balloon flight. It was mid-morning and I remember the peace and stillness that surrounded us, as we ate our brunch and drank – champagne of course! The thrill of the flight, the many animals we saw far below us, and even the rather bumpy landing, remain a wonderful memory of a beautiful day, one of many we had in Kenya.
My late husband surprised me with a impromptu picnic when living in North Cyprus. He drove us to a designated picnic area near Herakleion Castle. The area itself wasn’t well maintained but that wasn’t important to us. He was a very romantic, kind man who wanted to do this for me, the woman he loved. Memories are priceless, aren’t they?
Not been yet, but they all look good.
