Thank you Susanna for your review and kind words, I am so glad you enjoyed it and found the picnic delicious:)
Great concept, great day and very well organised. The crossword was harder than expected but with a bit of help we got to the right place. The stop where we had the picnic was just stunning. We'd highly recommend this as something a little different than your usual picnic. Enjoyed picking up the additional food items on the way (as well as some extras to support the local businesses). Our only slight negative would be the flower place where there were no flowers to pick and anyway they would've died by the time we got home. We thought a small tub of gelato might have been a better idea there. But a great day and the weather thankfully was good also. Thanks very much Philippa.
Thank you Colleen for your feedback. So glad you enjoyed your picnic. I remember it was unfortunately very wet leading up to this date and with your comments I have organised in future for a pre arranged bunch of flowers in a jar for customers to take away instead. Thanks again.
I picked this activity for a friends birthday. Great thing to do, to get away from the city and enjoy the scenery and village that you go through. Picnic was delicious and all supports the locals in the area.
We really enjoyed our day doing the mystery picnic it was a birthday gift for my partner but also a great family moment shared together..
I booked this to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. I was not disappointed, it was a wonderful experience even though the weather was not playing the game. We had alternatives where we could have our picnic, and the nature walks incorporated were lovely too. Thank you Phillipa, highly recommended. :)

What a nice time.
This is a really lovely day out. We loved exploring the area and seeing places we wouldn’t normally have seen. Philippa has thought of everything you need- it’s very very well run. Our picnic at the end was absolutely delicious. I’d absolutely recommend doing this.
