The Scottish Festival of Real Bread is back, and it’s the perfect way to kick off Real Bread Week 2025 (15 to 23 February)! This celebration of the best in bread-making offers the chance to immerse yourself in the world of Real Bread, from simply eating it to debating the future of grain systems. Once again, a highlight of the Festival will be the awards ceremony of the annual Scottish Bread Championship, as well as a communal bread stall selling some of the finest loaves Scotland has to offer.
The programme is currently being finalised, but events so far confirmed include:
- Live demonstrations: learn from the experts as they demonstrate techniques ranging from dough shaping to roti making
- Children’s workshops: let your little ones get hands-on in our sourdough flatbread workshops, designed for young bakers.
- Sourdough troubleshooting sessions: struggling with your starter? Bring your questions to our experts for on-the-spot advice
- Film screenings, including Celebrating Scottish Grains and a filmed version of Arise! Songs & Stories for the Bread Revolution
- The Big Thrash: hands-on threshing for children!
- Research events and panel discussions on shaping the future of vital grain networks
Entry is free, but some events will be ticketed and donations are encouraged to support Scotland The Bread’s work.
