Picnic FAQ’s

How does The Picnic Club work? . . .

We will have everything set up and ready for your arrival at your chosen location. Once you arrive we will leave you to enjoy and will return at the agreed time to pack everything up.

Can you help with my proposal? . . .

Yes! We'd love to help you with your special day. We have a proposal picnic package for $700. Please see our 'Packages' tab for more information.

Where do you do the set-ups? . . .

Anywhere you wish! We can set-up at your home, in your backyard or at one of our suggested locations. As of 2024, we are now also servicing the Central Coast and Newcastle.
Suggested locations in Sydney:
Watsons Bay,
Camp Cove,
Milk Beach,
Nielson Park,
Centennial Park,
Botanical Gardens,
Balmain East, and
Balmoral Beach.
Party hosts will need to contact the appropriate Council or venue to organise dates, time, permits and any hire fees directly with them.

How far in advance do I need to book? . . .

The more time we have to plan the better. A minimum of 14 days is ideal. There are times when we've had a last minute cancellation so please touch base just to check - you might be in luck.

What is included in your platters? . . .

Our delicious cheese and antipasto platters are stunningly decorated and showcasing an assortment of high-quality savoury foods. For special events, we can also style larger food stations. Should you or your guests have any dietary requirements, or a specific arrangement in mind, we are more than happy to accomodate!

Can I DIY? . . .

Unfortunately not. Due to the delicate nature of the items and fragility we do not offer this service.

How does payment work? . . .

A 50% deposit is required to secure your booking, the remaining 50% is due 10 business days prior to your event.

Do you have cancellation fees?. . .

We unfortunately do. Please refer to our T&C's

Do I need a permission to hold a pop up pinic in a park or public space?. . .

When organising your event please make sure the venue or park you are looking to use allows picnic set-ups. Unfortunately quite a few councils, parks and gardens now require bookings if using an external provider or professional picnic provider (like us).
As the host, we ask that you apply and pay for this diretly with the council or venue and ensure TPC is aware of the terms and conditions of entry two weeks prior to your soiree.

What happens if the weather is bad? . . .

Unfortunatley the weather is out of our control and in the hands of the 'Weather Gods'! We monitor the weather closely in the days leading up to the event: if you let us know a few days in advance, we are happy to change the location of your picnic and move you inside, otherwise, with more advanced notice, we can work with you to reschedule the event (subject to availability)

What do we do when we are finished? . . .

We will return at the arranged time to pack up the set up. Until this time you are responsible for the items. If you would like to leave earlier than the agreed time, please contact Felicity on 0421 721 608.

What is the time limit? . . .

Our picnic dates are three hours but can be extended at the cost of $150per hour.

Can you provide styling and decor to suit my theme?. . .

Our tables, rugs and cushions are neutral to allow the flowers and tableware to shine. Our standard picnic themes are shown on the packages page.

What if I'm late? . . .

If you're running late, please call Felicity on 0421 721 608 as soon as you can. The picnic can't be left alone so we will need to wait for you, however sometimes we have other events scheduled for the same day so waiting too long may be impractical.
Please note, if you are running late, the picnic pack up time won't change, it will still be 3 hours from your originally booked time.
