Summer Sunday Picnic
Join us near the lion statue for a Sunday lunchtime picnic in this pretty park right in the centre of Reading.
Bring and share vegan food - as simple or as posh as you like and bring a picnic plate/bowl and cutlery for yourself. Share your favourite sweet or savoury dish so we have a lovely yummy vegan spread that everyone can enjoy!
Got any outside games? Bring them along and we'll extend it into a fun play about, which you can watch or enjoy.
In the unlikely event the weather is iffy we'll picnic in the bandstand, where we'll meet in that case. There's no such thing as bad weather - just inappropriate clothing ;o). We're hoping for sunshine though!
Let Vanessa know if you think you'll be there and whether you think you'll bring something sweet or savoury. Plus if we know lots of people are planning on turning up we'll encourage the little cafe to get in some soya milk just in case anyone feels like a cup of tea later!
If you won't know anyone, don't worry - Nessie will tell you how to spot us. She could also make suggestions if you are stumped for food ideas.
Directions
Forbury Road,
Reading
Forbury Gardens are right in the centre of Reading, not far from the town hall and less than 5 minutes walk from the station.
From the station as a pedestrian, turn left out of the main entrance, go along beside where the rail-air buses park and head towards a mini roundabout, go straight across that almost to a large roundabout. Cross your road at the pedestrian crossing, turn left and follow the pavement. You will find Forbury Gardens on your left, with a huge lion statue in the middle.
