Full swing Picnic Season!
We're currently having the hottest summer on record with North Wales regularly featuring on TV as being the hottest place in Britain! Now is never a better time to make the most of al fresco dining and eating outdoors!
Portmeirion Village Shop and Portmeirion Online has everything you need to create the perfect Picnic, including the location ;)
We've put together some must haves to help you create an epic picnic;
1. Hydration
Remember to stay hydrated whilst outdoors in the sunshine. An easy way to do this is to take a good stock of water with you and some refreshing drinks in re-usable bottles, such as the Beau & Elliot Hydration Bottle, or a beautiful Sara Miller Water Bottle. Reusable bottles are hugely important in helping to avoid single use plastic and reduce waste.
2 Food Storage
Wrap your food well when preparing for a picnic. Bee's Sandwich wraps are perfect for wrapping sandwiches and picnic goodies, and are fully re-usable. It’s easy. Simply wash with cool water and soap, hang to dry and repeat. If you're looking for something a little more rigid, to stop squashing your sandwiches, opt for an insulated sandwich box, available in various colourways.
3. Picnic Blanket/ Rug
Comfort is a must whilst lounging outside for hours. Anorak have launched super cute animal inspired outdoor blankets which feature a waterproof backing and useful carry handle.
4. Location
Of course we're going to be bias about this one, but you couldn’t get a better location that Portmeirion Village, with its idyllic gardens and coastal paths, picnicking here is simply heaven.
Top tip today, soak up the glorious summer whilst it lasts!
