How to choose a company picnic date
The date affects attendance, cost and venue availability. A few simple rules help pick a date that works in the event's favour.
Best months
The picnic season runs from May to September. June and September are often safest for weather; July and August can be holiday months, which may lower attendance.
Day of the week
Team picnics are often held on a Friday or weekday, family days on a Saturday so families can come. The choice depends on who the guests are.
Book ahead
The best locations and suppliers disappear from the calendar months before season. The earlier you set the date, the more choice and better terms.
