On Monday 25th May 2009 at 12 noon Snibston invited the people of Leicestershire to join them with their own picnic to try and break the record for the world’s biggest picnic!

Families had to bring their own picnic mats or rugs and meal. To break the record each person must have had at least two ‘courses’ (e.g. a sandwich and fruit or cake) and a drink.

There was also lots of prizes, discounts and free stuff given away!

This event was organised in conjuction with the National Family Week which was also backed by the Prime Minister and by a host of important organisations and charities including Save the Children and the Women’s Institute and by celebrities such as Rebecca Adlington, Sally Gunnell, Anthony Worral Thompson and Tanya Byron.
