Real Bread Week
Worldwide
Created and run by the Real Bread Campaign since 2010, this is the annual, international celebration of real bread and the people behind its impressive rise. Its aim is to put the spotlight on the Campaign’s key work of encouraging and helping people to buy real bread from local, independent bakeries, and to bake their own.
Each year, bakeries, baking schools, mills, schools, care homes, and youth and other community groups bake special loaves, and run classes and other activities. Meanwhile, countless people bake at home, often with their children and other family members, colleagues or friends.
