This has been a roving event, the first was held in Bethesda in 2007. Since then it has been held in France, South Wales, Yorkshire and  last year returned to Bethesda, North Wales . Most of those who  attend are  keen amateur bakers,and the event is self driven , either working together  on a project, or watching the demonstration of a particular skill .

The bakers often have a list of recipes they would like to make and just get on with it, sometimes a few bakers will work togther on a recipe.

With such a diverse mix of experience the event is a great opportunity for peer to peer learning.

The baking weekend is not run to make a profit, it is  paid for by the participents sharing the cost of holding the event. A good range of flours and basic baking ingredients are provided for everyone to use.  Bring along additional ingredients for a particular recipe or to share .

Meals are cooked by the bakers and eaten together .

This is very much a social gathering a chance to meet new friends and get together with old ones.
