Reuse, reduce
Reuseable cutlery and containers reduce waste, and work out cheaper over time. Take a look below for some sustainable picnic essentials available in our shops.
Think local and seasonal
Reduce your food miles by eating fruit and veg that’s in season, rather than imported from another country. For extra points you could try growing your own.
On your bike
Add to the adventure by walking or cycling to your picnic spot. A bit of exercise will help work up an appetite, and you’ll cut down on car emissions too.
Leave no trace
If you end up with some waste after your picnic, make sure to take it away with you. Don’t leave leftovers for local wildlife, as it may not be good for them.
