Picnic with Mercure at Somerset House

Mercure Hotels organised a Gigantic Picnic at Somerset House and i was invited to cover the event on their Instagram account. Forecast for Friday wasn't really looking good, storms, rain, pretty much British Summer but lovely food prepared by Toms Kitchen, great Prosecco, live music, wine tasting and plenty of other entertainment was set on place to make the day great and fun. There was also a competition where you could win Mercure special Hamper by posting your picture from event on social networks. 

Music kicked off around noon with Jazz performance of amazing Estée Blu while in the VIP tent Susie and Peter had lovely wine tasting session. If you like more Smoothies than wine, then there was a special Smoothie Bike stand where you could make your own only by peddling on the bike. Great idea :) 

Later on sky get darker and rain started, luckily there was plenty of umbrellas and blankets to get everyone covered. Rain didn't last long and sun came back just about in time for totally awesome Acapella AfterParty performance.

What a great day, thank you Mercure for inviting me and everyone who came down to Somerset House to enjoy Picnic with Mercure.
