On your marks, get set, bake! It’s almost time to roll up your sleeves and don your apron as not only is the next series of popular baking show The Great British Bake Off due to arrive on our screens this autumn, but a fun baking experience is set to rise up in Manchester too. Known as The Big Manchester Bake, the 90-minute concept allows novice and enthusiasts alike to bake off against their friends, family or colleagues in pairs, to be crowned winning bakers.
The baking event The Big Bakes has announced the launch of a brand new venue, The Big Manchester Bake, located at New Bailey, just a short walk from the city centre, this October. The immersive baking experience is perfect for those looking for a way to celebrate birthdays or hen dos, as well as a team-building activity. Whether you know you know your sponges and soufflés, no baking experience is needed, all the ingredients and equipment provided, plus all the washing up sorted, it’s a real slice of baking heaven.
The Big Manchester Bake will include a beautiful baking marquee with 12 baking stations, featuring top appliances to bring participants baking creations to life, as well as a stunning cake-inspired cocktail bar. Open in the evenings and at weekends, visitors to the bar can enjoy a classic or cake-inspired cocktail (Bakewell- tini, anyone?) while seeing baking battles take place.
Since The Big Bakes started as a pop-up in South London in 2017, the team has welcomed over 200,000 guests to their London and Birmingham venues, with one delicious vision, to bring baking joy to all. The Big Bakes events are already a favourite for famous faces and content creators, having welcomed YouTube sensations KSI and Sidemen, Chunks and Betasquad, fitness star Joe Wicks, Diary of a CEO’s Steven Bartlett, pop sensations Fleur East and Paloma Faith and broadcaster Roman Kemp, just to name a few.
The Big Manchester Bake is a ticketed event that will run all year round, with a new fun theme announced every month, starting with a Halloween theme. To celebrate the launch, the first 1,000 people who sign up to The Big Manchester Bake mailing list, will receive a 50% discount on opening tickets in October and a further 25% off tickets in November, December and January.
Tickets for The Big Manchester Bake go on sale on August 14 at 12pm and gift vouchers are also available online to purchase for two to four people. You can book your tickets here.
