Sherlock Holmes Picnic

A Reminder And An Announcement

Just 10 days to go!! Don’t forget to sign up at the Doodle Poll if you’re intending to come this year: http://doodle.com/poll/dipzzbnh6g838w45

There will be the usual Sherlock Holmes Picnic Food Competition, which we’ve had some awesome entries for in past years (see above). I hope you’re all coming up with ways to beat them!

Sherlock Holmes Picnic VI Date Announcement!

This year’s SHPicnic will be on the 16th July. Meet at 12.00 at the bandstand for food, fun, fandom frolics and other things beginning with F!

Uh, not that, get your mind out of the gutter.

If you’re coming to the SHPicnic this year and could bring along any of the following, we’d be endlessly grateful. Please let us know if you can so that we can account for it.

We need several sets of handcuffs and umbrellas.

And one each of: deerstalker, big Sherlock-style coat, blue Sherlock-style scarf.

The Fifth Annual Sherlock Holmes Picnic is almost upon us, and this year we will be celebrating the Sherlympics. Fangirl will be pitted against fangirl as we endeavour to find the Ultimate Champion Of Sherlockian Athletics. The Games are on!

We will also be running the usual Sherlockian Food Competition, so get your chef’s hats on!

We will be meeting at the bandstand at Regent’s Park at 12, running games from roughly 2pm until 5pm, and then retiring to the Metropolitan pub for drinks, laughter and more food. Hell yeah.

It's getting so close! And the BBC have decided that the rain is going to hold off for the actual time we'll be outside!!

Just a reminder that we'll be meeting at the bandstand in Regents Park, which is here. The best tube station for it is Baker Street.

If you've been undecided about coming, or thought you could and now can't, could you please make sure the Doodle poll accurately reflects your plans? Thanks!

Been coming up with some terrible ideas for Sherlock Holmes-related picnic food.

Turkey twizzlers with a blue marble forced into them

Marzipan crafted into the shape of Holmes's nose

Holmes's 'special' brownies, with added cocaine

One solid mass of oysters, taking over the world

Chinese takeaway, but I knock anyone who reaches for any unconscious

Two Weeks To Go!!

49 days to go! He's ready, are you?

Hello Picnic fans!

The 2014 SHPicnic is taking place at 12 noon on 19 July 2014 at the Bandstand in Regents Park (that's here). There will be fun, sun (we hope) and the traditional Sherlock themed Picnic food competition.

From about 2-5pm we'll be running a Sherlock themed game. Be one of the Baker Street Irregulars and help Sherlock find out all the pressure points.

Then 5pm till people get fed up or chucked out whichever comes first, we'll be at The Metropolitan pub on Baker Street for food, drinks and probably a few games which may or may not involve Rizlas.

So all you need to do now is go sign up here and start planning your Sherlock themed snack.

Although if you've got a moment before hurrying off to reblog that would be appreciated too :)

If you have any questions you can contact us on here, at our LJ [email protected] or on our Twitter @shpicnic or #shpicnic.

See you in July!
