Bants & Bash: Picnic in the Park | Yoga, Games & Meet New People in Manchester

A different kind of Sunday social 🌿

We're taking Bants & Bash outdoors for a chilled Picnic in the Park at Hulme Park — with yoga, casual games, music, snacks and plenty of time to actually meet new people.

Come solo, bring a friend, join the yoga or skip it completely.

No awkward networking. No pressure. Just a Sunday afternoon in the park with good people and good vibes ☀️

📅 Sunday 30th August
📍 Hulme Park, Manchester
🕦 11:30 AM – 2:30 PM

🧘‍♀️ YOGA IN THE PARK WITH SAMPADA

At 12PM, Sampada will be leading a 45-minute beginner-friendly outdoor yoga session.

Never done yoga before? Completely fine.

Don't fancy yoga? Also completely fine 😂

While yoga is happening, everyone else can chill around the picnic area, meet people, listen to music or get involved with the games.

Yoga is strictly limited to 20–25 people, so make sure you choose a Yoga + Picnic + Social ticket if you want to take part.

👋 COMING SOLO?

Absolutely.

Most people come to Bants & Bash events to meet new people, so turning up alone is completely normal. We'll get everyone mixing from the beginning rather than leaving you to figure it out yourself 😅

🧺 WHAT TO BRING

Bring your favourite food/drinks and make your own little picnic!

We recommend bringing a picnic blanket or something comfortable to sit on if you have one. We'll have a few communal blankets available too.

If you're joining yoga, please bring your own yoga mat.

We'll bring the games, music and good vibes 🙌

🌦️ WEATHER

This is Manchester after all 😂

The exact schedule may move around slightly depending on the weather, and we'll keep everyone updated closer to the event.

Limited spaces available — see you in the park 🌿🧺
