How’s Summer going for you? With August about to start, we’re closing in on our traditional Summer Break. Our last bake of the summer will be on Saturday August 8th, but we’re baking as usual up to that point. We’ll have all the usual loaves, and we may even sneak in testing some new bakes too.

With wellbeing being at the heart of what we do, our break gives the team a chance to recharge and rest, as well as an opportunity to carry out some maintenance to the Bakehouse building. Our Baking for Wellbeing and Baking & Bereavement programmes will however continue throughout the summer, providing continuity to those benefitting from this important work.

This last week or so is a great chance to stock up, and if you want loaves sliced for the freezer, please do let us know.

We’ve got a whole range of breadmaking workshops coming up in this Autumn. Whether you’re a a complete newbie to making your own bread, or you’re interested in expanding your knowledge, we’ve got something for you. Our workshops are designed to be fun, relaxed, and informative, with no more than six participants.

Would highly recommend! Simon is a great guy who took us through a very detailed, interesting and fun bread making course, were we made a variety of different types, using lots of different technique’s 🙂

After the extreme heat of last week, we’ll be back baking as normal this week. Thank you for your patience and support last week, we really appreciate it. We very much look forward to being baking all of our delicious breads from Thursday. Hope to see you soon.

Due to the Met Office Red warning for Wednesday-Thursday we’ve made the decision to close on Thursday for bread sales. The safety and wellbeing of our staff and volunteers is a priority. We’re currently working on the basis of being open with a reduced offering on Friday, and normal service on Saturday. However, we’ll be keeping an eye on the forecasts and reassessing if necessary. Please follow us on social media for up to the minute information.

The weather is getting warmer and it’s not quite as dark as we get to the Bakehouse on a morning. Just a reminder of our usual opening times.
