Optimistic Picnic at Hyde Park

​Britain is full of optimists. We're just terrible at admitting it.

​Time to fix that. Join hundreds of fellow optimists for a giant picnic in Hyde Park - one afternoon, one iconic park, and a lot of people who think things can actually get better.

​No agenda. No speeches. Just good company, good weather (we're optimists), and whatever food and booze you bring.

​Families welcome - early afternoon will skew family-friendly, and the day will evolve from there.

​Bring: a blanket, food, drinks, and someone who needs cheering up.

​Come if: you’re an optimist who believes that better housing, abundant energy, technology and more innovation can unlock a better future for everyone.

​Activities

​Throughout the afternoon, there will be various entirely optional attendee-organised activities. If you'd like to organise one yourself, please send a message through Luma.

​Confirmed so far:

• ​Optimistic Art Collage Session

• ​Speakers Corner Take-Over

• ​Ultimate Frisbee Tournament

• ​Sports-Day Games

• ​Family Zone - A space dedicated to young families (optional)
