People may not be able to hold picnics in the usual way just yet, but there is a next best thing – a virtual picnic!

So says national charity Family Action, which says that way you can invite as many people as you want.

The charity is running its Virtual Family Picnic from 23rd-26th May and everyone is invited! The charity has created a free pack full of tips, ideas and videos to help people to host their own virtual picnic.

You can hold your picnic in your garden, on your balcony or on the living room floor! Just find some space, make some tasty treats and connect with friends and family online.

The charity added: “Although we are all still respecting social distancing and cannot meet in groups, we can still share experiences together and create happy memories. And when lockdown finally ends we can do it all again, but this time in person!”
