What to Take on a Picnic: Essential Picnicware and Accessories

Planning a picnic is the perfect way to welcome warmer weather and having the right equipment is vital for a successful al fresco feast.

So, what do you need for the ideal picnic? Our stain-resistant melamine picnicware is the perfect starting point. Vibrant and fun, our range features everything from summery brights to boho-inspired designs including picnic dinner plates, cereal bowls, and more.

If you're hosting a more elaborate picnic, create a statement centrepiece by piling this colourful picnic tray or platter with tempting treats. Invest in colourful plastic tumblers and wine glasses, plus a handy jug for serving up delicious pitchers of your favourite tipple. Use string lights to set a cosy and intimate mood for evening al fresco gatherings. If you're picnicking on the beach or in the park, try our waterproof blanket. We also have striking cushions specially designed for using outside.
