As part of the 50th Festival, budding bakers can now enter Kent’s Big Bake-Off to win a selection of exciting prizes.

On Saturday 5 September, the county’s finest bakers will compete for gourmet glory and the title of Kent’s Best Baker by baking Kent a birthday cake for its 50th anniversary.

This fun competition is open to both professionals from local patisseries, restaurants or hotels and amateur budding bakers.

Places are still available – please email 50years@kent.ac.uk to book yours and see if you can impress our special guest judges enough to win.

You must register by Friday 28 August.
