I would love my piggies to experience this warm weather ...

... but I only have a concrete driveway.

Would it be any good if I got them a run, and maybe put fleece down on top of the concrete?

You could have a fleece blanket on part of the floor of the run but being on the concrete will be good for their claws, as it will help wear them down.

I feel for you, I have to wait until my land lady is out before I can take my guineas out into the garden, it's annoying being limited. I can only say that my Flo absolutely LOVES putting her nose in the air and sniffing all the nice smells that she doesn't get inside. So as far as that goes, I think your guineas would enjoy a bit of fresh air and a change of scenery, even minus the grass, bit of fleece and some nice hideys, they will still enjoy the experience I think.

You can put them outside, but not in the heat of the day! Rmember that tarmac heats up especially badly and keeps the warmth much longer.

Your boys may enjoy all the scents.

I think they would like it. why don't you buy some grass seed and grow grass in a seed tray which you could put down for them as well? if you take it out before it is too short it'll keep coming x

I have a concrete yard where I put my piggies out in their run. What I tend to do is put the run in the shade, put a couple of sheets of newspaper down with some fleece on top so they end up with a run with half concrete and half fleece. The pigs can then choose whether they would like to run around on the concrete (which helps trim their nails) or lounge around on the fleece I the cover most of the run with a towel to keep it shaded. I do have a patch of grass at the front of the house but the pigs can only go there fully supervised as it is more public

My girls sometimes go on our patio too. Especially when they can't go on the lawn (if it's just been mowed or whatever) I sometimes put a fleece down in half of it, sometimes they go straight onto the flags.

Is there anywhere you can get long grass and/or dandelions from maybe. Chuck a handful in there with them and they'll be happy as larry!
