Ross-on-Wye Town Council is eggcited to announce its Easter event which will take place at the Market House in Ross-on-Wye on Saturday, March 30. 

The Great Bunny Bake Off will run from 10am until 4pm during its regular Saturday market and promises to be a lot of fun for all the family with Saku, a contestant on Channel 4’s Great British Bake Off competition, attending to judge the baking entries. 

The baking competition is open to all ages and anyone interested in entering, can email [email protected] for details and a registration form or view details on the town council’s website.

The Easter themed ‘Showstopper’ cakes will be judged by a panel including Saku and prizes will be given to first, second and third places. 

Alongside the baking competition, there will be a live music programme, including The Voice’s Jake of Diamonds plus Erica Jean and Noah Rawlings who both performed at the town’s Christmas Fayre. 

Other activities will include free drop in arts and crafts classes with Sarah Morton from Art Studio Ross, clay-making classes hosted by Yat Pottery plus face painting and wandering bunny characters handing out free chocolate Easter eggs. 

Food and drink will be supplied by Soup by T and local microbrewery, The Tap House, and there will also be a number of local traders selling arts, crafts and hand made products. 

Jane Mainey, Tourism & Marketing Manager for Ross-on-Wye Town Council commented: “We hope to attract lots of visitors to Ross-on-Wye over the Easter weekend and we felt it was a good opportunity to put on a free celebration at the Market House before it undergoes renovations this year. 

“We’re very excited to welcome Saku, a contestant from the 2023 Great British Bake Off television series, to the baking competition judging panel, and we hope to receive lots of entries from talented local bakers! The live music also promises to be a great addition to the event, with Jake of Diamonds who was mentored by Tom Jones on The Voice plus talented performers, Erica Jean and Noah Rawlings.”
