Sunday Society Picnics Make a Grand Return to The Maslow Sandton

The Sunday Society Picnic makes a grand return this spring, with dates set all the way through to summer. As a chic outdoor affair set in The Maslow Sandton’s lush gardens, guests can certainly look forward to a stylish and elegant afternoon of live music, gourmet baskets, and Graham Beck bubbly.

Themes for the Sunday Society Picnic

In fact, each date features a unique dress code to set the mood, creating a perfect mix of sophistication, relaxation, and vibrant energy.

For instance, on Sunday, 28 September 2025, the new season launches with a ‘Traditional South African Chic’ theme. Following that, on 26 October, you can bring out your summer vintage look, while on 2 November, it’s all about ‘Boho Luxe’ with earthy neutrals and floaty fabrics.

After that, you can brighten up your life on 30 November with ‘Colour Blocking’ in bold shades of purple, orange, green, and hot pink.

As the year winds down, everyone will be in a festive mood; for this reason, the theme for the 7th is ‘Gold, Emerald Green, and Crimson’ – don’t be shy to accessorise! To conclude, the final Sunday Society Picnic for 2025 is on 14 December, where you are invited to bring out the sparkles and shine in the sunshine with sequins and metallics.

Your Gourmet Sunday Society Picnic Experience

Upon arrival, you will sip on a welcome glass of Graham Beck bubbly and snack on the goodies in your picnic basket. The September menu, for example, includes vegetable crisps, popcorn, and mixed nuts.

For something more substantial, you can undoubtedly pile your plate with potato salad, creamy coleslaw, and sausage salad, or build your own from a selection of cocktail tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and boiled eggs.

In addition, meat lovers will delight in the charcuterie and cheese board selection, which includes biltong, droëwors, and local cheeses.

Of course, this is complemented by a fantastic hot main course offering that features vetkoek with spicy mince ragout, lamb cutlets with chimichurri, and panko-crumbed prawns with tartar sauce.

Each event showcases a unique and carefully curated menu; for this reason, you’re invited to return time and again for an entirely new culinary journey. So, embrace the excitement of discovering fresh flavours and inventive dishes, ensuring that every visit is a delightful experience waiting to unfold.
