It’s the return of Picnic in the Park, an initiative that promises to redefine outdoor dining throughout August.
You’re invited to embark on a gastronomical adventure…
Lay down your blanket, unpack your basket, and lose yourself in the magnificence of the Jersey National Park paired with a feast of authentic local produce.
Whether reconnecting with family and friends or bonding with colleagues, there’s no better setting than the radiant outdoors.
Unleash your culinary creativity and craft your own picnic menu, sourcing Genuine Jersey ingredients, or by selecting your favourite pre-prepared picnic using one of our partners:
The Atlantic Hotel & Ocean Restaurant, Flour Patisserie, The Jersey Grazing Company, Stinky Bay Brewing Co, SCOOP, Clarity AF Wines, Kismet and Love Cake.
In addition, Jersey local personalities will be sharing their favourite picnics, providing a wide range of options and additional inspiration. These individuals will offer their unique perspectives on ideal picnic locations, creative themed picnics, and valuable tips for making the most of the Jersey National Park.
Once you have made your selection, the adventure truly begins… Find your perfect spot within Jersey National Park, unfurl your blankets, and reveal your culinary treasures, all while basking in the Park’s awe-inspiring beauty.
All the options are now available to view online, and you can order from Thursday 27th July. The perfect picnic is just a click away:

Marcus Calvani, Co-CEO of the Jersey Hospitality Association, said: “Picnic in the Park is about uniting two of Jersey’s greatest assets: our extraordinary culinary culture and our stunning natural landscapes.” He continued: “As you lay down your picnic blanket amidst the breath-taking scenery, you’ll be feasting on a menu that truly encapsulates the flavours and spirit of Jersey. It’s a celebration of the Island, of our culinary talent, and most importantly, our community.”
Jim Hopley, MBE, Chairman of the Jersey National Park, said: Now in its fourth year, Picnic in the Park continues to grow and innovate. This year we have put more emphasis on DIY picnics, ranging from simple offerings to deluxe spreads.”
Mr. Hopley concluded: “Our goal is to see everyone picnicking, either with fresh Jersey produce they’ve prepared themselves, or sourced from our wonderful local hospitality suppliers.”
