A party for Paddington
A nationwide hunt is under way to spruce up Paddington Bear's world-famous marmalade sandwich in time for his 50th birthday celebrations at historic Dalemain near Ullswater.
The top three combinations will be taste-tested by the thousands of visitors expected at the Marmalade Festival at Dalemain which runs from February 7 to 10.
Paddington Bear creator Michael Bond is patron of the festival which crowns the best jar of marmalade in the world and raises money for Hospice at Home.
"I want people to come up with sandwich fillings that include marmalade and other ingredients to help Paddington have a very special birthday feast," said Caroline Dale of Cumbrian millers Carrs, who co-sponsor the festival.
"Lots of people mix cheese with marmalade but there must be hundreds of other combinations that are equally as tasty," she added.
The winner of the public vote will receive a luxury weekend break for two at Storrs Hall, Windermere.
To enter the competition visit www.carrsbreadmaker.info and submit your sandwich filling recipe.
