An Easter Picnic That’s Actually Worth Planning
If you're tired of the usual Easter egg hunts that end in a sugar crash and grass stains, Pont de Val’s Easter Picnic on 19 April might just be your saving grace. Set against the riverside in the gardens of Pont de Val, it’s the kind of outing where you can sip wine, eat well, and let the kids loose in a supervised play area while you pretend to read a book.
What’s the Deal with the Picnic Spots?
Each spot goes for R985 and covers two people. That gets you:
A 2x2m reserved blanket spot (no fighting over space)
A proper picnic lunch for two
One bottle of wine (choose wisely)
Live music in the park (not a Bluetooth speaker situation)
A little photo memoir to remember that you once made this much effort
Kid Zone & Grown-Up Add-Ons
The kids aren’t forgotten. Add them on for R190 each (up to 4 max), and they get their own picnic lunch, a treat, grape juice, and a surprise that’s apparently “fun” (no spoilers).
Adults tagging along? Extra grown-ups can be added for R295 (max 2), and yes, they get fed too.
Feeling extra? You can upgrade your setup with a fancy picnic from bellflower.co.za or splash out on a bouquet of seasonal blooms for R450. Because why not?
Bring This, Not That
Pack your hats, sunglasses, picnic cushions, and all your lawn or board games. Just don’t bring your own snacks or drinks—Pont de Val runs a cashless system and prefers to keep things curated.
It’s Easter, the weather should play nice, and you’ve got a chance to be that person who actually plans something lovely. The wine’s chilled, the blankets are spread, and the kids are distracted. What more do you want?
