Grab the meal deals and relax in the sun

With the brighter days and the temperatures going up, it's beginning to feel like picnic weather! We've narrowed down the top spots near you to explore with friends and see who's brought the best snacks.

Bradford - Lister Park

A real Bradford gem, this park is a great place to wind down and enjoy a picnic. You can also enjoy the art gallery, boating lake, café and bandstand when you visit. It makes for a perfect day out when the sun is shining.

Brighton - Kipling Gardens

What better way to have a picnic than to be surrounded by beautiful gardens and rustic village charm! And you can sit close to the duck pond, so it might be worth bringing a bit of extra bread in case the ducks seem overly keen to join in.

Dundee – Waterfront gardens

In the heart of Dundee, you'll find this relaxing spot with a gorgeous river view. It's a lovely place to wind down, enjoy the views and nibble on some picky bits. 

Glasgow - Mugdock Country Park

A huge open space to explore with a great castle makes the perfect group picnic spot. You can watch the world go by, dogs chase about and have an adventure with friends.

Manchester - Fletcher Moss Botanical Gardens

A visit to Fletcher Moss Park offers a relaxing and scenic afternoon. It's one of the prettiest places in Manchester with seasonal flowers and botanical beauty - get your cameras ready!

London - Regent's Park

If you're fancying a picnic with friends but want to spend longer outdoors, then Regent's Park is the place for you. Not only is it a beautiful, scenic park, it also has a lake, tennis courts, cricket ground and the London Zoo. It makes a great day out, especially with the weather getting warmer!

Liverpool - The Otterspool Promenade

The Otterspool Promenade is a lovely riverside walk that offers beautiful views across the River Mersey. It's an ideal place to have a wander, explore with friends and end with a picnic.

Preston - Aveham and Miller Park

If you want to escape for a day, then Aveham and Miller Park will be right up your street (literally). It's in the heart of Preston but feels far from the city, and you can relax without the city noise. The park features a famous Japanese Rock garden and a wide variety of unusual ornamental plants. It's the perfect picnic spot!

Salford - Peel Park

Right next door to the University of Salford lies Peel Park. It's filled with significant history and events that the local community can take part in. It can be fun to watch the events whilst enjoying your picnic, or join in afterwards! 

Truro - Victoria Gardens

This hidden gem in Truro city centre is a great picnic spot for catching up with friends, kicking a ball about and winding down with your favourite meal deals. 

Get your mates together, dig out your picnic blankets and spend a day in the sun! ☀️
