The biggest picnic in the world could be happening at the South of England Showground in Ardingly.

Organisers hope the Jubilee Picnic Festival on Sunday, August 18, will get into the record books.

Visitors should bring at least a two-course picnic, such as a sandwich and a cake, to take part.

Entertainment will be provided by the Hurstpierpoint Players who will present sketches.

The all-important final count will be announced at 3pm.
