Under the Provincial Liquor and Gaming Act Section 57(1) it is illegal to consume or posses liquor in a public place such as a park. All public areas in Winnipeg (and the surrounding areas) do not permit the consumption of alcohol. You may consume alcohol, at your discretion, only at an approved location such as a private residence.
Liability Notice
Please note that the consumption of liquor is at the discretion of the individual(s), and Wicker & Rose Picnics does not claim liability for any injury or damages incurred during a picnic. Wicker & Rose Picnics neither provides nor sells liquor as part of their picnic packages, and therefore relinquishes any liability resulting from alcohol consumption.
We encourage you to bring your own food as we currently do not provide food with our picnics. Bring whatever your heart (and tummy) desires!
All picnics based within Winnipeg city limits have a complimentary delivery fee, however, locations outside Winnipeg city limits are subject to travel fees. We suggest a private backyard or public park to host your picnic.
We host picnics on Saturdays and Sundays 10:00am-8:30pm.
Please note that it takes an hour to set up and an hour to take down (not including travel).
If you want your picnic to start earlier or later or run longer than our posted picnic hours please contact us so we can discuss. Additional charges may apply.
All public parks in Winnipeg do not require a permit or reservation as they are public locations.
We request that all bookings have a backup location either indoors or under shelter at the location of your picnic where we can set up in the case of rain or poor weather on the day of your picnic.
If you choose that you would rather not have your picnic, please see our cancellation policy listed above.
Wicker & Rose Picnics takes a refundable damage deposit of $100 for every booking in case of theft, loss or damage during a picnic. During your picnic, you are responsible for all of the items provided. In the case of theft, loss or damage, the value of repairing, deep cleaning, or replacing, will be deducted from the amount.
The damage deposit will be returned in full within 48 hours of the end of the picnic if no deep cleaning is required for any of the equipment and no damage or loss has been incurred on used equipment. If the cost of damage of is more than the deposit, you will additionally be charged and have to pay for with the full retail cost of the item(s) in question.
You, the client, are responsible for all equipment provided by Wicker & Rose Picnics during your picnic booking time. Please do not leave the picnic unattended to avoid damage or theft by third parties. We ask that you wait for the Wicker & Rose team to arrive before leaving the picnic setup. If you want to leave your picnic early please contact us and we will return to clean up as soon as we can get there**.
**We need a minimum 45 minute notice in advance to leaving the picnic.

We are unable to extend the allotted booking time for your group. Depending any subsequent bookings in the day as well as our schedule, there is a possibility of adding an additional hour for $45.
We currently only accept payment via e-transfer.
Additional hour add-ons are always subject to our availability. If there are no other picnics booked that day we may be able to accommodate adding additional hour(s) for your group.
Adding an hour the day of is $45, which we request to be paid via e-transfer within 24 hours of your picnic.
If we have another picnic booked that day we sadly cannot provide additional time outside your allotted 2 hours.

For indoor bookings we need a more than enough space so set up. For picnics of 2-4 people we need a space of roughly 8’ x 8’. For groups of 5-8 we need a space roughly of 10’ x 10’. It is required by the client to have all furniture moved prior to our arrival, otherwise an additional fee will be incurred (taken from your damage deposit), and might cut into your allotted booked picnic time.
Before a booking request is confirmed, all bookings require participants to agree to our Terms of Use, sent to you through email.
