Over the years, we have collected feedback from previous Picnickers, reflecting on their experience of the events. This included filmed Vox Pops on the day (see the videos below for examples) as well as responses to surveys we sent out following each event.

VOX POPS - Past Picnickers Say…

“Coming to the Picnic each year has been such an important moment to take a breath for me and my family. And, since having children, to also introduce the key people from our family that they haven’t had a chance to meet.”

“This has been a really calming space, and it creates a pause in the year, each year, to think about friends and family who have moved on.”

“It’s a beautiful space to be in, it’s a safe space and I’m around other people who are doing similar things… there’s something very powerful about that, and joyous and reflective and soulful.”
