A NORTHWICH bakery is opening its doors to the public, looking for budding bakers and wannabe bread makers to join in their upcoming celebrations.

On March 28, Roberts Bakery will be inviting family, friends and longstanding supporters to The Exploratory for a sneaky peek behind the scenes of the UK’s next generation bakery.

Stuart Spencer-Calnan, Roberts Bakery’s managing director, said: “The Exploratory is a bit like Wonka’s chocolate factory, but with less cocoa and no squirrels. It’s a place where creativity is currency, where mistakes are embraced and where the word ‘impossible’ is a no-go.

Just like in Roald Dahl’s classic book, Roberts Bakery are opening their doors to give visitors the chance to experience how they work first hand and the secrets behind their success.

Stuart added: “At the very heart of innovative thinking for the Northwich bakery brand, The Exploratory, is the place where ideas are sparked and brought to life. Whether that’s adding a dash of plum vodka to an unsuspecting teacake - or jazzing up a roll with some racy aromatic spices - everything it makes starts out in The Exploratory.”

A few lucky people will also get the chance to test the bakery’s tastiest techniques to create their best bakes. Visitors will also enjoy a delicious spread made from Roberts’ brand new, innovative range as well as some previously unseen and untasted products.

The Exploratory launch event is invite-only, but there are two places for Roberts’ Baker’s Dozen up grabs. This competition closes at 12noon on Friday March 23 and winners will be notified by email that afternoon.
