Join us near the lion statue for a Sunday lunchtime picnic in this pretty park right in the centre of Reading.

Bring and share vegan food - as simple or as posh as you like and bring a picnic plate/bowl and cutlery for yourself. Share your favourite sweet or savoury dish so we have a lovely yummy vegan spread that everyone can enjoy!

Got any outside games? Bring them along and we'll extend it into a fun play about, which you can watch or enjoy.

In the unlikely event the weather is iffy we'll picnic in the bandstand, where we'll meet in that case. There's no such thing as bad weather - just inappropriate clothing ;o). We're hoping for sunshine though!

Let Vanessa know if you think you'll be there and whether you think you'll bring something sweet or savoury. Plus if we know lots of people are planning on turning up we'll encourage the little cafe to get in some soya milk just in case anyone feels like a cup of tea later!

If you won't know anyone, don't worry - Nessie will tell you how to spot us. She could also make suggestions if you are stumped for food ideas.
