Transport Locations 2018
In order to keep the location of the event a secret right until the last minute, we ask guests to meet at “Transport Locations” where you will then be taken by bus or walk to the secret location. You will be prompted to select a location and sub-group when you purchase your ticket. To make the ticket buying process faster for you, it’s suggested you choose a location and consider the meeting times, before buying a ticket.
This year we have been having some fun with the Table Group names and each group is named after an city that holds a Diner en Blanc event. Feel free to have fun with your group's name - maybe some themed decor?

Please take into consideration walking distances (of up to 600m) when preparing your outfit and picnic ware. Consider a cart to carry your table and chairs. Some groups will arrive by bus and some will walk. We do not reveal which will be which as it will give away the secret location. If you have mobility issues please contact us and we will help you select the Transport Locations which will assist you (email [email protected])
Sitting with your friends
You automatically sit across the table from your “plus one”, your guest, so you will always have a friendly face sitting across from you at the event, but some people try to book in small groups, to sit with their friends.
If you would like to sit with a group of friends, it’s important that you select the same Transport Location and Sub-Group (details below) as your friends. The people in each sub-group will be the people that get on the bus with, or walk with, and will be the group that you sit with at the secret location.
If you want to sit with your friends, it’s best to discuss with them what sub-group you will all choose. But note some groups do sell out fast, and it’s impossible to predict. Once a sub-group is full, we cannot add more people. It is first come, first served. We also cannot swap people to other groups. It’s best to remain in contact with your friends while buying a ticket, so you can try and get the same group. If you miss out on the same group as your friends, we suggest selecting another group at the same Transport Location so you can sit as close to them as possible.
If you do miss out on selecting the same sub-group as your friends, do not worry, there are plenty of opportunities to get up and mingle with your friends – especially on the dance floor!
