Picnics and BBQs

In Ferry Meadows there are a number of permanent BBQ stands around the Park, which operate on a first-come-first-served basis. You may bring your own portable BBQ if it is off the ground and not placed directly onto the ground, picnic tables or benches. Some benches do have BBQ trays fitted.​

Please note that disposable and gas fired BBQs are not permitted.​

Visit our onsite Farm Shop inside the Visitor Centre to discover our range of picnic and BBQ items, catering for families and visitors who wish to extend their visit at the Park. You can even pick up charcoal in store!

For more information download our BBQ and Picnics Information Leaflet.

​If planning a BBQ or picnic for a large group (20 people or more) it will need to be authorised by Nene Park Trust as there may be other activities or events taking place at the same time. For enquiries and bookings please email [email protected] or call us on 01733 234193.
