We are pleased to announce that following the continued easing of lockdown restrictions, Leander Club is reopening with a bar and dining service.
Our first event will take place over what should have been ‘Regatta weekend’. We will be marking the occasion by hosting daily picnics in our walled garden from 3rd to 5th July. There will also be a mini firework display on the Friday and Saturday nights.
We have 20 dedicated 3m x 3m entertainment spaces, suitable for up to 6 people, available each day. Dress your space with your own blankets, chairs, tables and even a candelabra and gazebo if you like! Alternatively, there are limited chairs and tables available on a first come, first served basis. Please enquire at time of booking for availability.
You are welcome to bring your own food and soft drinks only (as bringing your own alcohol is not permitted under our licencing restrictions).
Our bars will be serving draught and bottled beer, cider, spirits, wine and soft drinks, as well as Pimms and our very own Leander Pink of course – so you won’t go thirsty!
And why not order a delicious Leander hamper that caters for 6 people?

Useful information about the garden picnics
Once you have booked, we will send out your Leander badges. These are your tickets for the event.
Don’t forget to bring your Membership card to access the car park.
We request that Members and their guests follow the latest guidelines regarding social distancing and ‘support bubbles’ at all times. Each picnic space will have a margin around it to facilitate this.
On arrival, please proceed to your allocated picnic space.
The building has been cleaned and the ground floor toilets have been converted to accommodate both ladies and gentlemen.

We kindly ask Members and their guests to observe social distancing and ‘support bubbles’ at all times. While we are encouraging Members to eat outside in the garden, seating will be available indoors, in inclement weather.
