National Baking Day

Give us a bake!

Us Brits have a huge appetite for cakes and bakes, and our brilliant bakeries are rising to the occasion this World Baking Day (May 17) with so many delicious cakes, pastries, pies and breads that you really can have your cake and eat it, too!

With the Great British Bake-Off continuing to make baking super cool, our nation’s hunger for baked goods has never been greater.

Whether it's a Victoria Sponge or a fruit cake to celebrate life’s big moments, or tearing and sharing a warm loaf just out of the oven, baking brings people together.

Check out our brilliant bakeries and discover what’s in store for you this World Baking Day and every day – and don’t forget to visit ProCook and HomeSense for high-quality baking equipment that will help you discover the joy of baking for yourself!
