Vol. IV — On weather
The Danish summer is short. Answer it immediately.
Seventeen degrees and no wind is a national holiday. We keep the baskets packed so a forecast can become an afternoon in under an hour.
Picnic rental · Copenhagen · Since the first warm Thursday
Every sunny day
is worth a picnic.
Regina Fragola lends out the parts of a good afternoon — a gingham blanket, an old wicker basket, coupes for something cold, a jar of wildflowers to take home. You choose the things, we keep them clean and ready by the door. One picnic, one price: 399 kr. for the day. The food is yours to bring.
Build your picnic
How it works
I
Choose your things
No packages. Pick a blanket, add cushions, skip the glassware if you'd rather drink from the bottle. One price either way.
II
Pick a day
Tell us when the sun is meant to show up. Collect in the morning, return the next day.
III
Go outside
Walk to the park, unfold everything, stay until the light goes orange.
The things
Take six or take two — the picnic is 399 kr. either way.
Washed cotton, red and cream, big enough for four.
A stack of four. For leaning, sitting, napping.
Old, slightly creaky, carries everything.
Second-hand glass. Drink something cold from it.
Picked that morning, yours to keep.
Fresh little crowns for wearing, sharing and forgetting you're in the city.
Picnicking in Copenhagen
A city that empties into its parks the moment it is allowed to.
Frederiksberg Have
Herons, willows, a slow lap around the lake before you settle.
Kongens Have
Best before noon, when the lawn is still half empty.
Islands Brygge
Concrete edges, cold water, ferries going past your feet.
Amager Fælled
Tall grass and no plan at all. Bring the wildflower jar back home.

Vol. IV — On strawberries
Why everything here is named after a berry.
Regina Fragola: queen strawberry. A small red thing that only tastes like itself for six weeks a year, then makes you wait again.
Vol. IV — Field notes
Five things worth doing on a blanket.
Reading badly. Peeling fruit. Arguing about names for a dog you will never own. Falling asleep. Staying half an hour longer than sensible.
Questions,
reasonably asked
How much does it cost?+
One price: 399 kr. per picnic, per day — however many things you choose to take with you.
Why is everything one price?+
Because a picnic shouldn't feel like adding up a shopping basket. Take the things you'll use, leave the things you won't. The price stays 399 kr.
Is food included?+
No. Regina Fragola rents the picnic setup, while you choose and bring whatever you'd like to eat and drink. Bakery, takeaway, homemade or supermarket strawberries — anything goes.
Where do I pick things up?+
From our door on Sønder Boulevard in Vesterbro, or one of two other Copenhagen spots. Everything fits on a bicycle.
What if it rains?+
Move your day, free of charge, up to the evening before. Danish weather is not your fault.
Do I have to wash anything?+
No. Shake off the crumbs, bring it back roughly as you found it. We do the laundry.
