PICNIC WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS: Your VonShef picnic blanket is ideal for al fresco dining and outdoor lounging, whether in your own garden or further afield at the park or the beach. STYLISH YET PRACTICAL: Finished in a navy colourway with a classically charming tartan print, your picnic bag benefits from a waterproof layer – not even the great British weather will stop you!

Our small picnic blankets are ideal for intimate dates and small gatherings. But don’t be fooled by their compact size; they retain all the great features of our large picnic blankets, providing a cosy spot to relax and enjoy the great outdoors with your favourite people. From green to blue to funky geometric patterns, our picnicware sets are perfect for every aesthetic and function! Whether you’re trekking all day to enjoy your picnic at the end of a hike, or you’re simply walking from the car to the nearest picnic bench, you’ll want to ensure that all of your serveware and food remains intact and in good condition. DAY TRIPPING: For hiking or camping trips, simply fold up your portable picnic mat for easy compact transportation. Once you’re ready for a rest, the extra large picnic rug measures L220 x W200cm when laid out. The HI-GEAR bag is also smaller than the other sets here, which means you wouldn’t even be able to fit a ‘standard’ supermarket sandwich in the insulated compartment. Cramming in enough food to feed four people from the slim section would certainly be a challenge. Nothing beats a day trip into the great outdoors, especially if you plan a picnic, a seaside barbeque, or a meal outdoors with friends and family! We have all the picnic accessories that you could possibly need, whether you're planning a day at the beach with your family, climbing a mountain and eating while you admire the view, or eating your lunch in the park on a workday. Picnicware essentialsChoose from our selection of picnic mats and waterproof picnic blankets, available in an array of stylish colours like herringbone blue and forest green. STYLISH YET PRACTICAL: Finished in a grey colourway with a contemporary geometric print, your picnic bag benefits from a waterproof layer – not even the great British weather will stop you!

Our online selection of picnicware covers everything you’ll need for a picture-perfect picnic, from cooler bags to picnic blankets.

Inside it follows the same familiar theme as its competitors here, with a comprehensive list of kit including a bottle opener, chopping board with knife, plus salt and pepper shakers. However, it’s missing the rug and wine cooler that are offered by most rivals in this test. Catering to a large family or group of friends? Opt for a large picnic blanket designed to accommodate the whole crew. Crafted with snuggly soft polyester fabric that’s easy to clean, they’re perfect for sharing sandwiches and daytime naps in the sun. The HI-GEAR designers chose a more modern look than features on some of rivals here, although one of our testers said the bag’s pattern of coloured triangles looked like the upholstery from a nineties supermini.
