Picnic by Pura is a Malta pop-up picnic service, listed in Valletta, that sets up styled picnics for two with food, wine and decor at scenic spots such as Manoel Island or on a boat around the Three Cities. Prices are published per couple. Enquiries go through the VisitMalta.co.uk form on this page.
Picnic by Pura, trading as The Pura Box, creates styled pop-up picnics in Malta. Rather than handing you a hamper, the team brings a low table, cushions, blankets, glassware, flowers and a cheese and charcuterie box to a scenic spot and lays it all out for you. It suits couples on a romantic break, anyone planning a marriage proposal and small groups celebrating a birthday or a hen weekend.
The service appears in our catering companies directory because food is at its heart, though it is more of an experience than a restaurant meal.
How the business began
The Pura Box began in 2020 with a single picnic box, at a time when restaurants had closed and people were looking for fresh ways to eat outdoors. It grew into a pop-up picnic venture built around nature, good food and what the team calls PURA VIDA, a reminder to enjoy simple pleasures. The team has eight years of experience in hospitality and has arranged hundreds of picnics and proposals. The firm also runs picnics in Mallorca.

For small celebrations, the Pura Group Bash covers intimate gatherings such as bridal showers and baby showers.
