Could someone please enlighten me as to what actually happens at the “Picnic of the Year”
The Picnic of the Year, is a national event, aimed at getting as many Gentry members from different areas to meet up, bring their Picnic and exhibit their Gentries and enjoy what the show has to offer.
The 2025 P.O.T.Y. will take place at The Family Day at Highnam Court, Nr Gloucester, this venue was recommended by Gentry Members who had attended the show this year and had a very enjoyable day out. At present we are awaiting further details from the organisers of the show and will update the Gentry Website and Journal once this has been received.
