About MysteryPicnic.co.uk
Taking some of the ‘mystery’ out of Mystery Picnics
Without spoiling the fun.
A Mystery Picnic is supposed to contain a few surprises. That is rather the point. We are here to help you decide which Mystery Picnic best suits you by providing you with the information that isn't secret, but is sometimes hard to find.
What we do
Enough information to choose, not enough to ruin the surprises
Our location and voucher guides are designed to help you understand the experience and what the location is like, without ruining the fun.
MysteryPicnic.co.uk explains what a Mystery Picnic is, helps you find and compare Mystery Picnic locations and options, without spoiling any of the delicious mystery of the day.
We help identify whether a Mystery Picnic is explored on foot or by car, when it is available, approximately how long it takes and which options are available for couples, groups and families. We provide enough information for you to be able to get a feel for the area you will be exploring, whether that means wandering through colourful city streets, discovering an old market town or heading out along country roads. We also make it easier for you to compare prices across Mystery Picnic locations and voucher options.
What we do not do is spoil the mystery of the day. You will not find answers to the clues, a list of your food stops or directions to your final picnic spot. Some things are better left as a mystery!
Who it suits
Compare options for couples, friends and families before deciding which version fits the people you are bringing.
When you can go
Check availability by location so you know which days the experience normally runs before making plans.
What the area feels like
Get a sense of the streets, scenery and atmosphere without revealing the places your clues will actually send you.
Why a whole website about picnics?
Because they are not 'just a picnic'
The food is definitely part of the fun, but the day is also about solving, exploring and spending real time together. We help you choose which Mystery Picnic and where.
Solve the clues
Work together to figure out where the next part of the day will take you.
Explore somewhere
Notice the streets, shops, buildings and corners you might otherwise have walked straight past.
Collect your picnic
Pick up different parts of your food as you go rather than sitting down to the whole meal at one stop.
Enjoy the time together
Eventually the clues lead you to the final spot, where you can unpack what you have collected and slow down.
Find the right one
Not every Mystery Picnic is the same
A Mystery Picnic through the streets of Manchester's Northern Quarter will be quite different from one that takes you driving through the Cotswolds.
Locations can also differ in availability, how you get around and price, so it is worth comparing a few before deciding which one suits you. You will also want to decide how many people you want to bring along, whether you want a romantic day out, or a day out with friends or family. There are also premium options for planning something even more special.
Each location guide looks at the character of the place as well as the practical details of the experience. Each voucher guide explains price, inclusions and options and provides ideas for what kind of day they might suit.
There is no single best Mystery Picnic, but there is a single best Mystery Picnic for you.
We are here to help you find it.
