Picnic Blankets for Every Gathering Outdoors

A good picnic blanket turns any patch of grass or sand into a comfortable spot to gather. It rolls out for a lazy afternoon in the park, a day at the beach or a backyard lunch, ready whenever the weather calls you outside.

Our range runs from plush fleece topped rugs to woven cotton throws, many with a water resistant backing. Each offers softness, practicality and a refined finish with a luxury feel at an easy price. Tuck one alongside a woven picnic basket and you are ready to head out the door.

Choosing the Right Picnic Blanket for Your Space

Size to your group first. A compact rug around 130 by 150cm suits two, while a family blanket of 200 by 200cm or larger seats four to six with room for food and bags. A coated or laminated underside keeps you dry on damp grass and cool sand, with taped edges adding extra protection. Soft fleece adds warmth, woven cotton gives a breathable classic look, and a foam padded rug adds comfort on harder ground.

• Match the size to your group, from two person mat to family rug
• Choose a water resistant backing for damp grass and sand
• Pick fleece for warmth or woven cotton for a classic feel
• Look for a foldable design with a carry handle or strap

Styles to Suit Your Space

Finishes range from timeless tartan and gingham checks to soft neutral weaves and bright coastal stripes. Pair yours with an insulated cooler bag, a gazebo or umbrella for shade, and a hammock for lounging between courses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are picnic blankets waterproof?

Most have a water resistant backing that stops moisture from damp grass or sand seeping through, though the soft top can still absorb spills.

What size picnic blanket do I need?

A compact rug around 130 by 150cm suits two, while a blanket of 200 by 200cm or more suits families and groups.

Can I machine wash a picnic blanket?

Many are machine washable on a cool, gentle cycle. Check the care label and air dry rather than tumble dry to protect the waterproof backing.

How do I keep a picnic blanket clean between uses?

Shake off crumbs and spot clean marks with mild soap, then air the blanket fully before folding it away to keep it fresh.
