Sunshine & Sandwiches - The Perfect Picnic
Hoorah - summer is here at long last! And what better way to enjoy it than by taking the family away for a few days? And while you're away, why not go for a picnic? They're great fun, a brilliant way of getting everyone together and best of all - they hardly cost a thing.
We love a good picnic here at Play and Stay HQ and we want you to have as much fun as we do. So, we have put together a list of helpful hints and tips to make your day in the park a huge success.
Picnic Checklist
First off, you need to make sure you have everything together when you leave. Don't you just hate it when you find the perfect spot and unpack everything only to realise that you've forgotten the cups? Our picnic checklist will help you out and ensure this never happens.Download our essential picnic checklist
Picnic Recipes
Next up: the food. The most important part of any picnic, we're sure you'll agree. True, you can head to the supermarket and grab a few bags of crisps and a BLT sandwich, but where's the fun in that? Have a look at our mouth-wateringly tasty picnic recipes for a more original approach to your food.Download our delicious recipe suggestions
Fun and Games
Need some post-picnic entertainment? Why not get everyone together and play a fun game? Football is always a winner with the boys, Frisbee is a solid all-rounder and cricket is a good way of tiring the children out as they chase after dad's fours and sixes.
