B&M's Summer Picnic Starter Guide!

Picnics are the perfect way to spend a day with family and friends throughout the summer. Relaxing in the sun, eating some tasty food, and playing games in the park make picnics an unmissable summer activity. Here at B&M we’re here to offer you a Picnic Starter Guide to make sure you’re stocked up with picnic products and ready to go!

Our great value B&M Picnic range has everything you need from bags, cups, tables and more!

Picnic Furniture

One of the only downsides to picnics is long grass and bugs bothering you while you’re tucking into a delicious sandwich. Staying comfortable whilst out having a picnic is key. That’s why here at B&M our Picnic category can make sure you can relax in peace.

Keep yourself off the floor with our Tartan Picnic Rug. The attractive Tartan Picnic Rug is available in four fantastic colours and has a water resistant backing, protecting you from the unpredictable Great British weather.

For something larger the 4 Seat Folding Picnic Table is a strong and durable option. The table simply folds away after use and is easy to put up in any location. Perfect for sitting down with friends and family in a picturesque summery field of your choice.

Of course, you’ll need somewhere to sit and relax after a game of catch or sunbathing too long. Our Folding Camping Chair with Cup Holder comes in three different colours and has a sturdy steel frame so you can kick back, relax and enjoy some summery picnic snacks.

B&M Top Tip: Another great way to stop annoying flies and bugs, other than sitting off the floor or having a picnic blanket, is insect repellent. Make sure you stay comfortable during your summer picnic with our Insect Repellent category online at B&M. Check out the Jungle Formula Extra Strong Insect Repellent for maximum protection at a great price!
