The Idea: Picnic Together

We invite you to make plans—to come together for a shared picnic, a team outing, or simply to meet up with colleagues, friends, and neighbors.

A picnic is an outdoor meal where everyone brings something to eat and drink, and everything is shared. It’s about a relaxed atmosphere, being outside, meeting others, exchanging ideas, and enjoying time together.

What makes a picnic:

  • Simple, easy-to-transport food

  • A blanket or a nicely set table

  • Being together with others

  • Time for conversations, games, or relaxation

Why we picnic:

  • It’s easy and communal

  • It combines food, nature, and fresh air

  • It’s open to everyone and easy to join

How it works

We will provide 50 beer hall table sets, arrange restrooms, and—ideally together with you—organize a supporting program with music, children’s activities, and small happenings.

You bring your own picnic and decorate your table.

You can coordinate with others and share a table—as an initiative, team, or group of neighbors.

The Picnic with You and Your Ideas

If you’d like to contribute further—for example with music, children’s activities, small events, or games—please feel free to get in touch! We welcome all ideas and would love to shape the picnic together with you.

We’re looking forward to a relaxed and lively day with all of you—overlooking the Weser, with great food and plenty of opportunities to connect.

Here are a few ideas for simple picnic snacks:

It’s best to bring easy foods that travel well and can be shared, for example:
