Great Torrington Town Council Bake Off

Mayor Phil Cloke is kicking off his fundraising for the Mayors charities for 2025/26 with the “Great Torrington Bake Off”. His chosen charities for this year are Torrington Rugby Club & The Bickford Centre.

This event will be held in the Undercroft at the Town Hall on Saturday 20th September between 10:30am and 12:30pm.

This event is open to all ages, and we would love to see a wide variety of cakes, whether it’s a showstopper, a traditional sponge, a gluten free cake, a vegetable-based offering or a cupcake: we will leave it up to you to decide what to bake!

There will be prizes for ‘Best in Show’, ‘Tastiest Treat’ and ‘Best Bake by an Under 16’. We will be selecting a panel of local expert judges, and there will be rosettes and certificates for commended entries.

The fee will be £5 per entry for adults and £2 per entry for U16s (cash only on the day please) and with the permission of entrants we would like to auction the cakes at the end of the event. All proceeds will be for the Mayors charities.

If you don’t fancy submitting an entry into the competition, we will be asking for donated cakes and treats to sell throughout the event and there will be tea, coffee and some soft drinks available to buy for a small sum with all proceeds going to the same charities.

Entry forms can be downloaded here: DOWNLOADABLE ENTRY FORM or they can be collected from the Town Council offices at Castle Hill or from Torrington Library.
