Announcing: Picnic Surry Hills
We have a busy summer coming-up with two fabulous events, the first one is to celebrate Surry Hills and it’s facelift and we’re having a picnic to celebrate!
Together with Surry Hills Creative Precinct - and with the support of City of Sydney and as part of (our old favourite ) Sydney Mardi Gras - we are staging a new outdoor event celebrating Surry Hills: the rejuvenated parks and new pocket parks and of course, the now fully operational light rail.
So grab a Picnic walking map to find participating venues, schedule of entertainment and after event programming in our local pubs and venues. Visit one, visit them all and have a rolling picnic on the day. There will be loads of entertainers roving from park to park on the day, plus plenty of prizes to be won. It’s an event you don’t want to miss.
The idea is that local cafes, restaurants and pubs will prepare picnic food, and picnickers will use a map to find out where they can locate everything from fresh summer snacks, delicious desserts and hearty lunches from participating outlets. Pick up your preferred choice, take it away in eco-friendly packaging, buy a specially produced Surry Hills PICNIC blanket and hit the local spots, from Shannon, Ward and Harmony Parks as well as entertainment, artists and DJ’s. If you want to bring your own picnic hamper, feel free.
Local pubs and cafes will be encouraged to create special PICNIC areas, where you can go for a drink or two, picnic indoors and as an alternative Plan B if it is raining or the heat is too intense.
Featuring: DJ Adam Love and The Devonshire Divas - more entertainers to be announced soon!
