About this event

🌞 Last Summer Bank Holiday Picnic at the Italian Gardens! Friendly Vibes Only 📅 Monday, 31 August 2026 ⏰ 2:00 PM – 7:00 PM BST 📍 Italian Gardens, Lancaster Gate (opposite the Tube station) Ready for the perfect end-of-summer afternoon? 🌳☀️ Join a lovely group of friendly people who just want good conversation, laughs, and chilled picnic vibes — not dating-app energy (you already know where to go for that 😉). What to expect: • Bring your own food & drinks (or share if you’re feeling generous!) 🥪🥤 • Most people come solo — super normal and totally welcome • Relaxed, easy atmosphere where the host helps everyone join in the chats • We stay together as a proper group (this isn’t a “sit alone with headphones” event) Meeting point: 2:00 PM sharp by the ice cream van in the Italian Gardens (right opposite Lancaster Gate Underground). We’ll take a short 100–200 m stroll to our shady spot under the trees. Look for the “Fake Tarot Reader” sign — you can’t miss us! 🔮😄 https://www.google.com/maps/place/51%C2%B030'39.1%22N+0%C2%B010'33.7%22W/@51.510857,-0.176038,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d51.510857!4d-0.176038?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDcyOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D When we’ve had our fill of sunshine and snacks, anyone who fancies can wander over to The Swan for a drink or bite to keep the conversation going. Come for the picnic, stay for the good company. See you under the trees! 🍃✨ \*\*\*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\*\*\* Some Tips: 1.
