Has anyone seen any nice picnic sets?

It’s my birthday coming up and I fancy a nice picnic set. I love the idea of a wicker basket but don’t think it would be the most practical. I want something that I can swish about with like I’m in an Enid Blyton book. I want plates/ boards etc to feel nice but not china or glass as I’ll be with children. Enough for 4 people please.

Thanks that look very practical. I was hoping for something a bit more fancy that I’d be unlikely to buy myself.

That’s gorgeous and I’d consider second hand but I’ve got a 19month old and a three year old who often demand to be carried so I think it’s probably not quite functional enough (I know I’m like Goldilocks…)

My friend just last week got a fabulous wicker hamper with a rolled picnic blanket attached on top for her 50th.
It was sort of tall and narrow, with handles on top and insulated inside. I think it would be easy to carry one-handed without knocking against your legs.

We were all secretly coveting it! It was from Fortnum and Mason, I think, so probably cost a fortune.
Not sure if it included plates or glasses, but it would be simple to just add your own.
