Extra Info:

  • Cash Bar: PATATE will be open for those of you who want to purchase craft beers, chilled wine or botanical soft drinks and nibbles but in true picnic fashion, feel free to bring your own bottles and snacks.

  • Acces: For those wishing to take public transport to the event, the C14 bus is just steps away from Patate.

☔We know our British members feel right at home in the rain, but pétanque is strictly a fair-weather sport!

In the event of rain, the event will be postponed. We will post a final “Go/No-Go” update on our blog and LinkedIn by 5:30 PM on the day before. If the clouds look threatening, please check before you head out!
