Supper with Nightjars
Sat 20th June, 7pm. Latchmore (Abbots Well)

Our very popular supper and walk to find the nightjars out on the heaths of the New Forest will be back around the Summer solstice in June. We usually end the evening with hot chocolate round the campfire in our garden.

We are keeping this date, in case the situation changes, and will review whether or not we can go ahead nearer the time. If you would like to provisionally book a place (no deposit or cancellation fee), please contact walkingpicnics@aol.com

Beautiful Butterflies
Sat 18th July, 11am. Appleslade

Nigel spends most of the Summer monitoring and surveying butterflies across the New Forest, and will introduce some of the local specialities on this 3 mile walk through beautiful mixed woodland, followed by a home made picnic.

We are keeping this date, in case the situation changes, and will review whether or not we can go ahead nearer the time. If you would like to provisionally book a place (no deposit or cancellation fee), please contact walkingpicnics@aol.com

Far from the Madding Crowd
Sat 15th August, 2pm. Latchmore (Abbots Well)

Even in the middle of August, we can still find secluded parts of the New Forest beyond the usual tourist haunts. We also enjoy playing folk music, so our picnic will be a musical one, with Nigel and friends.

We are keeping this date, in case the situation changes, and will review whether or not we can go ahead nearer the time. If you would like to provisionally book a place (no deposit or cancellation fee), please contact walkingpicnics@aol.com

Mellow Fruitfulness
Sat 12th September, 11am. Anderwood

As the New Forest relaxes into Autumn, we will explore the fruits, seeds and fungi beginning to emerge. Walk of 3 to 4 miles, together with a seasonal home made picnic, in the woods at the heart of the New Forest.

We are keeping this date, in case the situation changes, and will review whether or not we can go ahead nearer the time. If you would like to provisionally book a place (no deposit or cancellation fee), please contact walkingpicnics@aol.com

We are also leaving lots of space so we can provide specially arranged private Walking Picnics for a minimum of six adults. Get a group together and start talking to us about having a Walking Picnic just for you.
