Sunshine, Picnics and the Perfect Sharing Board

22nd June 2026

Few things capture the spirit of summer quite like a picnic. Whether it's a blanket in the park, a day at the beach or a gathering in the garden, the best picnics are built around simple, quality ingredients.

This season, the Goodwood Farm Shop shelves are brimming with everything needed to create the perfect sharing board. From Goodwood's award-winning cheeses, including creamy soft varieties and mature favourites, to expertly cured meats, the selection has been curated with relaxed summer entertaining in mind.

Pair them with fresh bread or crackers made using Goodwood flour, alongside a selection of chutneys and condiments, and you have a feast made for sharing.

Complete your board with a Goodwood Beer, brewed using home-grown malted barley from Goodwood Home Farm and organic hops. Each bring their own character to the table from the citrusy, hoppy notes of Lucky Leap American Pale Ale and aromatic, malty Grogger Pale Ale, to the lighter, lively St Simon Lager.

For something a little brighter, Goodwood Gin brings the flavours of the Estate into the glass. Crafted using locally grown botanicals and mineral water naturally filtered through the chalk Downs, Levin Down Goodwood Gin combines notes of juniper, citrus, coriander and wild gorse flower with a subtle hint of toasted coconut and vanilla to freshen the palate.

As the days grow longer and the sunshine lingers into the evening, celebrate the season gathering friends and family around a table of carefully chosen produce, where quality ingredients and local provenance are celebrated. Visit the Goodwood Farm Shop to discover this summer's selection and find inspiration for your next picnic.
