Apologies, but due to sharing the kitchen with Lap-fai Lee’s pop up at Deadbeat we will be assessing our lunch options each day and ask you to check our Instagram and Facebook stories for updates. Or just pop around to the shop!

Pre-order Info

➡️ Click HERE to pre-order bread and buns for Wednesday till Saturday. If you don’t want to pre-order that’s alright, we always have more to sell, but we try not to let anything go to waste, so pre-orders are very helpful.

➡️ Cut-off time for all pre-orders is 11am on the day before pick up!

Thanks so much to STEAMHOUSE for their continued support in letting us use a corner of their bakery in Redditch - we honestly do not know what we would have done without their generosity. 💛 💛 💛

🎉🎉🎉 Take your calendar out - Stirchley Community Market is happening in September! 🎉🎉🎉

On the last Saturday in September the Stirchley Community Market will return to the historic Stirchley Baths - a Grade II listed former swimming bath, which is now well known as one of the community hubs in Stirchley as it is giving space to many many different groups like for singing, sports, the memory cafe and cinema evenings. You can hire rooms for bigger or smaller events and meetings, this list could go on and on...

If you haven’t been for a tour at the Stirchley Baths yet, the market day is usually a great opportunity to meet the Stirchley History Group and learn more about the building itself and the history of Stirchley.

The Stirchley Community Market which established in 2010 and is still a vibrant community-led event with street food, arts and crafts, and community group stalls. The market is entirely volunteer-run and if you have a couple of spare hours, they are always looking for more hands to help!

Each market has a unique line-up of lovely local traders and community organisations, ranging from handmade items such as ceramics, artwork, clothing & woodwork, through to tasty treats such as baked goods (from Loaf and other amazing bakers), chocolate, cheese, honey and hot sauces.

The market has a fundraiser cafe run by volunteers, offering hot and cold drinks and snacks, which helps fund upcoming markets. Did you take you calendar out?

🟢 Saturday 26th September 10am till 3pm at Stirchley Baths, 2-4 Bournville Lane, Stirchley B30 2JL
