- Winner is Glenkiln Sculpture Park
- This year’s runner up is The Fairy Pools
- Nominate your favourite picnic spots for next year
It’s National Picnic Week from the 15th-24th of June, which aims to promote areas of natural beauty to get the UK into the great outdoors this summer, enjoying some great food and great company.
National Picnic Week chose these two locations due to their unique visual characteristics, Glenkiln Sculpture Park’s fantastic art pieces make it a spot that can’t be ignored, and the Fairy Pools have an ethereal quality that is hard to describe.
Adam Cox, founder of National Picnic Week says: “We’ve had the hottest May on record so there’s already been more picnics so far this year than we normally have. With a hot summer predicted we’re expecting more picnics in 2018 than ever before.
To make the most of your picnic this we’re encouraging the nation to have spontaneous picnics. It’s so quick to grab a blanket and a selection of foods and just enjoy eating outdoors. It doesn’t have to be a well-planned activity, you can even have a quick picnic in your lunchbreak”.
“I’d like to congratulate the winners and runners up and all the nominees that made it on to the shortlist. The UK has some fantastic picnic spots and a picnic can turn a day out into memories that last forever.”
There are stunning places to picnic all across the UK, and it’s one of National Picnic Week’s aims to promote these areas, and get people out enjoying the summer with friends and family.
And now you can nominate your favourite picnic spots for consideration in next year’s competition. For more information, visit www.nationalpicnicweek.
