On your marks, get set, BAKE for Chairman’s charities

This year South Holland District Council will be adding a new and exciting contest to its Spring into Spalding event.

On Saturday, March 30, the town centre will be filled with fun activities and entertainment for visitors to enjoy – including a Bake Off which has been organised by South Holland District Council Chairman Councillor Andrew Woolf.

The competition, which will take place at the South Holland Centre, will be judged by Councillor Woolf and Matty Edgell who won the Great British Bake Off in 2023.

This is an exciting new addition to the popular event, which has been made possible following a grant of £6,000 from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Any bakes can be entered into the competition but Easter themed treats are recommended to really impress the judges.

There is not an age limit and all abilities are welcome too, so whether you’re just starting out or have been baking for decades you can get involved.

Entrants will be able to arrive at the South Holland Centre from 10am to set up and display their yummy creations. You will not be able to park outside so please make sure you – or someone you know – is able to carry your bake to the centre.

Special judge Matty will begin looking at and tasting the entries along with Councillor Woolf at 11am before the winners are announced and presented with their prizes on the stage in the town centre.

Afterwards, visitors will be invited to the South Holland Centre where they will be able to purchase slices or whole cakes in return for a donation which will be going to the Chairman’s Charities – Blood Cancer UK and Mencap.

Councillor Woolf said: “This is such an exciting event and I’m really pleased to be part of the judging panel.

“We’re hoping to see if we can find our very own Star Baker here in South Holland so I’d like to encourage our local residents to get on board and support this event.

“As if that wasn’t good enough, visitors will be able to buy some slices – or an entire cake – after the judging has finished so there is more than one way to donate on the day.

“It promises to be a really fun – and hopefully delicious – competition.”
