“We held a Bake Off last year to celebrate our 25^th anniversary here at Country Harvest and the 25 cakes we judged were simply AMAZING! We couldn’t believe the skill and imagination of the bakers and we had so many families come in to view the cakes, so this year we thought we’d organise an event for juniors,” said Mike Clark, owner of Country Harvest.

The event will end Country Harvest’s first ever Food Fair, sponsored by Leisure Resorts, which is being held in a marquee in the grounds. The event starts on Thursday, June 6 with a fun masterclass with former Great British Bake Off contestants Howard Middleton and Sandy Docherty; then during the daytime there will be lots of food tastings, a barbecue, masterclasses, a pie tasting and a sausage making demonstration. On the Saturday evening there will be a performance by the award winning Leyland Brass Band.

Country Harvest is a combined Food Hall/Coffee Shop/Gift Hall and new Outdoor Living Cabin on the A65, near Ingleton.
