“It’s the first time we’ve had a teddy bear’s picnic but I hope to do it again as it was so popular.”

The event was among a range of community activities arranged by the store including weekly litter picks every Monday.

Toni said: “Staff walk from the store to Weasenham Lane in one direction and to the roundabout in the other to pick up rubbish for an hour to help keep the area tidy.”

The next community event in tesco is likely to be a Santa’s grotto.
