On Sunday 7 August, The Manchester Museum will be going along with some Museum objects and activities to The Manchester Picnic in Piccadilly Gardens.

Piccadilly Gardens will be transformed into a foodie family oasis, with delicious food and drink stalls, large themed picnic area and bags of family entertainment. The Manchester Picnic is the perfect picnicky day out.

Enjoy award-winning alfresco cuisine from Manchester’s top eateries; Abode, Aumbry, Harvey Nichols, Mint Hotel and The Mark Addy will dish up delicious seafood salads, picnic hampers, smoothies, home-made vegetable crisps, strawberries & cream, lemonade – and we welcome Robert Owen Brown’s Marvellous Meat Emporium.

Plus join the Teddy Bear’s Picnic on Sunday 7th. As well as kids’ workshops with The Manchester Museum, you can dance along with Twinkle the Bear. Special Build a Bear goodie bags for the first 100 best-dressed teddy’s are up for grabs*, plus the picnic’s best dressed bear will win a 5 person family tent (worth £170) and camping games from GO Outdoors.
