Get Together For A Picnic This Spring

Time to get together for a picnic this Spring.

Now that we are able to meet in a group of 6 or with another household outside, its time to enjoy the Spring sunshine.

Whilst we can’t eat in just yet, picnics are the perfect substitute! So make up your hamper or look out for take away pick up stops. We’ve put together a list of great picnic locations across the Weald for you to enjoy this Easter!

Littlehampton Beach

The mile long sand and shingle beach at Littlehampton is everything you would expect from a long established seaside resort. Walk along the promenade and picnic on the beach. To further consolidate the beach’s family credentials is the perfect sandcastle-making sand that is revealed as the tide goes out.

Horsham Park

Visit Horsham Park for its wide open spaces, tranquil Sensory Garden and Human Nature Garden and its excellent children’s play area.

Perfect for picnics, barbecues and feeding the ducks, Horsham Park is the best place in town to relax on a sunny afternoon. Head for the The Kaya Café for a host of freshly made refreshments, or relax while enjoying live music from the bandstand.

Stanmer Park

With its beautiful woodland walks and extensive open lands, Stanmer Park is just as perfect for a family picnic as it is for a kick about with your friends or those looking for a bracing walk over the Downs.

Families come to dawdle up and down the gentle slopes and picnic on the lawns. The new children’s adventure playground was installed during the summer of 2017 and is suitable for all abilities.

Visitors avail themselves of the café with snacks and drinks and admire the architecture of the beautiful surrounding villas and Italianate garden.

Deal beach

The long pebble beach at deal is punctuated by the pier which dates back to the 1950s. Whilst it might not be the most attractive pier it is long and features a cafe and fishing decks at the end.
