Britain’s green spaces are being gobbled up by the ever growing concrete jungle. In response, Pimm’s are bringing a new urban leisure concept, Skipnics, to London this summer, so it doesn’t matter if you haven’t got a glorious garden or balmy balcony to enjoy the great British outdoors!

Providing a welcome area of green in an otherwise urban sea of grey, we've created a series of skips with dedicated pop-up picnic areas for two days on Thursday 7th August and Friday 8th August, on the corner of Drury Lane and Great Queen Street in Covent Garden where consumers can enjoy a ‘skipnic’ and a break from the humdrum of the city. Transformed into little green oases, each skip has been designed with a Great British Outdoor theme, from a quintessential country garden to an allotment, complete with its own shed.

Open from 12noon – 6pm daily, you can bring along your own picnic and of course will be treated to a free sample of Pimm’s and a cucumber sandwich from the Pimm’s sampling team, dressed as workmen in high vis jackets.
