| Published: 14th October 2014 11:49 |
When: Saturday 18 October 2014, 1pm - 4pm
Where: Bath Abbey, Bath, BA1 1LT
Why: In aid of Bath Abbey's Footprint project preserving Bath's heritage for future generations
On the 18 October, the World Heritage city of Bath is hosting the Great Bath Bake Sale at Bath Abbey in aid of Footprint, its fundraising appeal driven by the need to save the Abbey's historic floor from collapse.
The most significant sponge-based event ever to hit Bath, the Great Bath Bake Sale will have enough cakes, bakes and tempting treats to line the length of an Olympic swimming pool and is sure to appeal to sweet tooth visitors of all ages. Taking place between 1pm and 4pm, the event will also feature hands-on bread-making workshops for children from Bath's famous Bertinet Kitchen. Parents and grandparents can keep little ones entertained as they enjoy a cup of tea and cake, and even take a few tasty morsels home to enjoy later!
Laura Brown, Footprint Appeal Director, said: "We're really excited about the Great Bath Bake Sale. This marks the beginning of our fundraising appeal and we can't wait to welcome new and old friends to join us for what will be a wonderful family event."
The Great Bath Bake Sale will leave you feeling full of generosity as well as cake, as all proceeds go towards Bath Abbey's Footprint Project, plus charities FareShare and FoodCycle. Footprint is a £19.3 million project which aims to carry out essential repairs to the Abbey's collapsing floor, install a new eco-friendly heating system using Bath's unique hot springs, create new spaces and facilities, and record and interpret the Abbey's 1,200 years of history.
Laura, added: "Bath Abbey is in desperate need of repair and restoration. People have been walking on the stone floor for hundreds of years and we need to carry out some important conservation work to ensure the Abbey will still be standing here for hundreds if not thousands of years to come. And what better way to bring people together in aid of this good cause, than over a slice of cake?"
So if you've been inspired by the Great British Bake Off, come along and showcase your baking skills "Mary Berry style". Get together with friends, family or colleagues, host a table, donate a cake or just munch your way through a selection of tasty treats!
