Perfect picnics

The year is already speeding off and it feels like only yesterday we were sipping mulled wine and eating leftover turkey. In keeping with the theme of our sale focus for this week I wanted to write a blog for the Polo season which will be here before we know it. Cowdray Park is famous for polo and is a stone’s throw from us in Midhurst too. Spring is just around a very frosty corner and this blog will give you all of the ingredients for a beautifully stylish polo picnic. All blankets, throws and picnic rugs are 50% off this week, so make sure you’re ready for spring/summer and get inspired here.

The sun is shining and the grass is luscious, your friends/family find the perfect spot and you unveil your soft, colourful, unmistakable picnic rug. You scatter some cushions and blankets for comfort and in case of a chilly breeze and begin to unpack the wicker basket full of goodies. Decant your beverages in to lovely serving bottles for special occasions – they look great and add a sense of luxury to your al fresco experience. Matching tumblers and glasses complete the look. Your luxury picnic couldn’t possibly have paper plates, try this lightweight ceramic set. Serving bowls can also be key to creating a luxury picnic, swap plastic tubs for these, place cling film over the top for easy transportation. Finally, as the evening draws in you can be prepared with candles. These stunning and functional lanterns can light the path home at the end of a magical spring day at the polo.

Visit us at Something Different, North Street Midhurst this week for 50% off all picnic rugs, throws and blankets.
