Whilst the weathers getting a bit nicer and as we move closer to summer, it is the perfect time to grab a few friends and make the most of the warm weather. Luckily, there are plenty of things to do around Ormskirk to get out in the sun.
How about a picnic?
- Grab yourself a picnic blanket, a few mates and head down to some of the local parks such as the beautiful Coronation Park just next to Morrisons.
- Designate food. The heart of the picnic is the food, so divide up what you want to bring and allocate something to each person; this way it keeps the cost evenly spread and then everybody has the opportunity to contribute.
Picnic Checklist:
- Crisp.
- Sweets.
- Pop; Cola, Lemonade, Fizzy Orange etc.
- Water to cool down with.
- Ice Creams.
- Sandwiches.
- Cocktail Sausages.
- Mini Sausage Rolls.
- Mini Pasties.
- …Or if you’re feeling more adventurous how about something like a creamy pasta salad or sweet potato salad. Pasta and Salads are great for picnics because even if they get a little beaten up in transit, they still make for a great meal.
Beer Garden…
