Christmas Fair

Picnic Park Deli is located within the Westover Gardens area of the historic Lower Gardens. They are open every day (weather dependent) bringing visitors a diverse mix of live music, art, fitness, events as well as obviously food & drink. Picnic Park Deli was set up in 2016 as they felt Bournemouth was crying out for a social space within a town cluttered with both clone-town chains and establishments aimed just for tourists. They want to become that go-to place for locals and visitors alike, not only offering superb locally sourced food and drink but also giving Bournemouth something that is a real social experience.

“We are delighted to be working alongside local businesses as we collaborate together to support those that are vulnerable over this season. The Zest team have been so supportive and enthusiastic in wanting to support Borunemouth-based charities. Charlotte and Nick from Zest are committed to making the biggest impact possible for those charities which are helping the neediest in our community. We are so excited about the Community Appeal as events take place in Bournemouth over the festive season!” -Deano Pickering, HealthBus Head of Fundraising and Marketing.
