Optimistic Picnic at Hyde Park
Britain is full of optimists. We're just terrible at admitting it.
So a few of us are having a picnic in Hyde Park to fix that. One afternoon, one very good park, and a load of people who reckon things can actually get better.
No agenda, no speeches, no one collecting your email at the door. Just good company, good weather (we're optimists), and whatever you bring. Blanket, food, drink, and ideally someone who could do with cheering up. Nothing will be provided - it's a picnic, not a wedding.
Families welcome.
Bring: a blanket, food, drinks, and someone who needs cheering up (no food or drinks will be available, except what you bring)
Come if: you’re an optimist who believes that better housing, abundant energy, technology and more innovation can unlock a better future for everyone.
