Our Lion’s Picnic is back for another year after a successful launch in 2023!

We are so excited to be hosting our FREE family fun day at Winchester Rugby Club for another year on Sunday 26 May! Head over between 10am-4pm for some family fun in aid of your local Winchester, Basingstoke and Andover hospitals!

Come along on the day to enjoy:

• FREE family fun - no tickets required, just turn up!

• Live music

• Giant slide

• BBQ

• Bouncy castle

• SEN (Special Educational Needs) area

• Parkour, freerunning and tricking taster sessions with PFT Academy

• Drinks bar

• Craft fair - apply to be a stall holder below!

All funds raised from the day will support the children and young people seen in our hospitals across our child health unit as part of The Magic Lion Appeal, where we’re hoping to raise £400,000 to make improvements to our spaces.

Be a stall holder at our craft fair on the day!

As part of the fun, we’ll be hosting our very own craft fair to support as many local crafters as we can. So whether you’re a potter, jewellery maker or illustrator, we’d love to welcome you to our Lion’s Picnic to sell your handmade goods.

Stallholders will be able to set up from 9am and will be able to sell from 10am-4pm on the day. Stalls will be outside and include an outdoor space of 3x3m – you can book more than one space if needed. You will need to provide your own table, chair and gazebo. This is all provided to you for a £20 fee plus a prize which we ask you to donate to our raffle to help us raise extra funds on the day.

You will hear from a member of our team after completing the below application form to confirm your booking, take payment and valid public liability insurance.

We look forward to seeing you on the day! Get in touch if you have any questions or would like to host an activity on the day by emailing hh.charity@hhft.nhs.uk.
