Bake Off stars join Stone Food and Drink Festival 2025 line-up

Shares

 

Three contestants from The Great British Bake Off will be showing off their skills at this year’s Stone Food and Drink Festival.

The event takes place on 9th, 10th and 11th May at Westbridge Park.

Friday’s headliner is the show’s 2024 alumni Sumayah Kazi, while Saturday will see 2023 winner Matty Edgell take the stage and Sunday will see 2024 contestant Nelly Ghaffar entertaining the crowds.

The trio are part of a new-look lineup for the event, which marks its 20th year in 2025.

They will be appearing on the new culinary showcase stage, which will also feature cookery demonstrations from top local chefs as well as talks and tastings sessions on a range of food and drink themes.

In addition to a live cookery demonstration – where the Bake Off stars will be able to chat about their time on the show – there will be meet and greet sessions and they will judge entries in the festival’s very own bake-off style competition.

 

‘New additions’

 

Festival spokesman, Ed Stant, said organisers were keen to “freshen things up” for the event this year as the mark the double-decade milestone.

“Great British Bake Off is a national institution so it seemed fitting to invite along some recent fan favourites to add some extra excitement to the cookery demo line-up,” he said.

Other new additions to the programme include a competition stage, extended opening hours – with bands playing later into the evening – and a bigger family zone.

“We’re delighted to announce that Panic Family Circus will be returning to offer free kids’ circus skills workshops and Big Top shows, plus there will be free kids’ cookery classes from Kiddy Cook alongside a bigger fairground and other family-friendly activities,” Mr Stant said.

Tickets for the event are now on sale via the festival website.

The Stone Food and Drink Festival is a non-profit event, which is organised to bring the community together to celebrate the best of local produce.

Organisers say it regularly attracts crowds of up to 20,000 visitors.
