BAKERS are being urged to join a Northwich contest by the dozen.

The Great Northwich Bake Off takes place at St Helens Church on Saturday, October 10.

Participants are invited to bring their baking along in the morning for judging with classes including a technical bake of brownies, a pre-set recipe, a bread back and the anything goes signature bake for adults and children.

Entry fees are £1.50 per category.

Between 10.30am and noon there will be master classes giving visitors chance to take part and practice.

One will be held by judge and award-winning baker Rebecca Cooper, from Cooper's Cakery.

At 12.15pm some of the cakes will be up for auction and there will be cake-related competitions.

Tea and coffee will be available from 9.30am.
