Every year there’s a National Picnic Week so why not have a Gluten Free National Picnic Week too. There’s a day, a week, a month for everything now, did you know there is a National Rebecca Day too and it’s on the 4th of July – true story that, so if you are Rebecca then join the club.

When is National Picnic Week?
So here in the UK #nationalpicnicweek this year was 18th – 26th June 2022 it even has it’s own website dedicated to it National Picnic Week and have been going strong for over 10 years now.
National Picnic Week aims to provide people with the ideal opportunity to get together over a picnic with advice, tips, recipes and information to make sure everything from the food and drink to the location and surroundings are spot on. Picnicking is one of the UK’s most enjoyable summer traditions, and is a great way of taking advantage of any open spaces in your local area over the warmer months of the year
