Bakers Warburtons is hosting its second annual picnic awards in the build-up to this year's National Bread Week which runs from 5 to 11 May, celebrating the great British picnic and the UK's love of loaves.

Whitby Gazette readers are being urged to get behind the village's bid for glory and, if successful in the regional heat, Robin Hood's Bay will be given the chance to represent the region in the national final with other regional winners from across the UK competing for the coveted title of Warburtons Best Picnic Spot 2008.

The overall winner will receive a £1,000 cash bursary for the site and a plaque to ensure all visitors know it's the UK's favourite place to picnic.

Each regional winner will also be presented with a £500 bursary towards the maintenance of the site, ensuring visitors can continue to enjoy picnics in future years.

And you could be in with a chance of winning a family picnic in Central Park, New York by voting.
