National Picnic Week (14–21 June 2025) is here, and it’s your official excuse to grab a blanket, pack up your favourite bakes, and head outdoors for a feast in the fresh air!
Whether you’re beach-bound, park-lounging, or hill-hiking, we’ve got the ultimate picnic tips (and pies) to win hearts and stomachs.
🥧 Why We’re Getting Involved
National Picnic Week was launched to encourage everyone to embrace the great outdoors and celebrate the simple joy of sharing food together.
....And frankly, we can’t think of a better match than our bakes and a sun-dappled picnic blanket!!
After all, what’s more British than a Steak Pasty under the sun or Chunki Sausage Rolls at golden hour?
