Events calendar

This is a short round up of events related to bread and other issues of local and sustainable food. 

Some are organised by or in support of the Real Bread Campaign, others are simply ones with a bready bent.

If you've organised an event and would like it to appear here, please add the details now.

Please note

The majority of events listed on this calendar are run by organisations other than the Real Bread Campaign. The wording for each entry has been supplied by the organisers. An event appearing on this list  is for infomation only and does not represent an endorsement.

To find out more about an event, please contact its organisers. Before heading off to an event we recommend that you check details (such as times and whether or not fess apply) with its organisers.

Real Bread at events

Far too much thoughtfully and lovingly produced delicious food is served up in pappy baps, buns, baguettes and white slices mass-produced at the other end of a motorway somewhere by who knows, using who knows what - it's like presenting the Mona Lisa in a frame from a pound shop.

We urge producers, stallholders and other caterers to serve their fantastic food in Real Bread (i.e. addtive-free) from a local, independent bakery.

Real Bread at your event

Whether it’s a stand-alone event or part of something wider, a Real Bread activity is a great way to bring people together. After all, the word companion comes from cum panis - Latin for ‘with bread’.
