The Scottish Festival of Real Bread is back, and it’s the perfect way to kick off Real Bread Week 2025 (15 to 23 February)! This celebration of the best in bread-making offers the chance to immerse yourself in the world of Real Bread, from simply eating it to debating the future of grain systems. Once again, a highlight of the Festival will be the awards ceremony of the annual Scottish Bread Championship, as well as a communal bread stall selling some of the finest loaves Scotland has to offer.

Book Tickets

Entry is free, but some events are ticketed and donations are encouraged to support Scotland The Bread’s work.

Scottish Bread Championship
The Scottish Bread Championship will be judged on Friday 14th, and this year we particularly want to support as many people as possible to feel confident enough to enter The People’s Bread category. The ‘People’s Bread’ is simply a well-fermented loaf, made with a high proportion of locally-milled organic Scottish-grown grain, aimed at producing a nutritious, affordable and accessible bread for everybody. It could be sourdough or flatbread, a tin loaf or rolls. Read more about our standard here.

The Championship might be a competition but it’s also a celebration: we’d like to encourage you to work towards submitting your best loaf, not necessarily trying to beat everyone else’s, and are here to support everyone towards the ultimate result – baking the loaf you want.
