Picnic Ideas and Experiences Sydney

Creative outdoor workshops for those fully vaccinated in NSW 

What could be better than picnic dates with your fully vaccinated friends on a sunny Sunday afternoon? If you’re keen to reconnect with those special people in your life, why not make the moment a special one and try out these fun creative activities at your next picnic. Whether you’re setting up in Hyde Park for an afternoon of moulding some air-drying clay or you’ve set up shop in the Botanical Gardens for an afternoon of weaving your own basket, there’s a whole range of fun things to do for your next picnic day 2024. 

Now that NSW is coming out of lockdown, one of the best things to do in Sydney is to learn something new – and there are plenty of creative outdoor workshops that will keep you entertained for hours on end. If you think picnics are just about food, think again – a Covid picnic can be a chance to try something new with your friends! From cool arts and crafts workshops to musical activities and more, there are plenty of ways to have fun outside that don’t just involve eating cheese and crackers on a beautifully made grazing platter. 

How to throw an incredible picnic with friends and family when lockdown ends

Although making a decadent cheese board with fresh fruit and cured meats is tempting, why not switch up your next picnic date with some fun outdoor activities! Rather than chatter over a cheese board (however tempting it is), why dive headfirst into learning a new skill you and your friends have wanted to try together?

Many of these outdoor experiences are mobile, which means you just need to name a place and they will be there! These teachers are always open to customising their outdoor activities to suit your needs, so why not take the opportunity to learn how to make a stunning flower crown with your girlfriends while catching up over lunch at Moore Park, or spread out your blanket for an afternoon in Centennial Park with some knitting needles or maybe even learn to skateboard in Manly! 

Pack your favourite nibbles, a rug and your covid vaccination certificate and you’ll be set for a fun day in the sun with friends and family! Maybe even pop a bottle of bubbly in the picnic basket if you’re keen to celebrate the end of NSW lockdown like we are.

With picnic ideas for kids who are going to catch up after a long time apart, there’s a range of fun family-friendly outdoor experiences for everyone to get involved with. Maybe you’re looking for the best picnic spots to spend some quality time with your grandparents or family members you haven’t seen in ages. Instead of getting grandma to show your how to knit, why not learn a new skill your can both bond over like punch needling? 

We’re here to help make your picnic experiences amazing  

After one of the longest stints of lockdown 2024 comes to an end, it’s more important than ever to make the most of the little moments and get out of the house so you can reconnect with friends and family.

As many people have traded their day-to-day lives for a digital existence throughout lockdown, it’s time to start living again! Take the opportunity to plan an unforgettable picnic date for your partner that will leave them feeling warm and fuzzy inside. 

Lockdown isn’t going away overnight, so let’s enjoy the little wins, like a picnic in Sydney with loved ones. Go the extra mile and surprise your besties with some of the most epic picnic date ideas to do in your local area. Whether you’re learning how to make your own pinch pot from a local artist or painting portraits of each other at an outdoor paint and sip class, there’s the perfect creative activity for everyone!
