Picnic like you mean it because the Sunday Society Picnics are back!

“Be filled with the joys of Spring as The Maslow’s Sunday Society picnics return on the first Sunday of every month from October. Laze on a picnic blanket and bask in the sunshine on The Maslow Sandton’s lush lawns while tucking into a basket packed with tempting eats for you to share with a friend or loved one.

The picnic basket for two costs R1 500 and includes a bottle of Graham Beck Cap Classique. Sip, and dine, and lie back, and relax to the sounds of live music. Your mouth will water when you open your hamper, which has hot items of BBQ beef skewers, lamb koftas in rich tomato sauce, crispy pork belly with grilled apples, seafood paella, and sticky soy or spicy peri-peri chicken wings.

Tuck into cold items such as fresh fruit skewers, herbed cous-cous salad and a mini cheese board with an artisanal bread station nearby. Finish with baked cheesecake, chocolate brownies and Red Velvet Opera Cake Dress to impress as each picnic is themed differently. On October 6, the dress code is African Ankara; November 3 is Tropical Havana; and December 1 is Boho: off-white and beige.

The picnics are from 1 pm until 5 pm, with live entertainment starting at 2 pm. Make it a day to remember and enhance your experience by booking a stay, including the signature Maslow Sandton buffet breakfast. You could make a weekend of it with a luxurious spa 60-minute bespoke facial or oil massage treatment incorporated: from R2,697, also enjoy a romantic dinner valued at R400 per person and breakfast the next morning.
