A perfect excuse to get your old Trinity friends together for a summer afternoon in one of London's prettiest parks, as well as an opportunity to meet other graduates who have also swapped Dublin for London.

The picnic is free to attend for members of the TCD Association, or costs £5 for any non-members who want to come along and try us out.

There'll be a welcome glass of Pimms for all picnickers but beyond that please bring your own supplies - snacks, drinks, blankets, chairs - whatever will make for an enjoyable day out.

We will locate ourselves conveniently close to St James's Cafe so that you can pop in and grab a takeaway drink and a treat if that's what suits , and there are plenty of mini-supermarkets and shops around Charing Cross... (extra brownie points to those who come with home-made treats to share!)

Please do sign up in advance so that we can update you with our exact location, keep you in the loop in case of any rainchecks (fingers crossed not!) and most importantly - ensure there's plenty of Pimms to go around.

Want to sign up for membership in advance? You can do so here.

* I promised pelicans, so if you want to combine the picnic with a spot of ornithology, here's the info you need.

** and this is the palace in question.
