About Us

Love to bake? Love a good natter? Or just love cake? You’re in the right place. Village Bakers is Manchester’s LGBTQ+ baking social group where we Bake, Bring & Share. We meet at our monthly Sunday Social at The Molly House to enjoy homemade treats, cuppas, and great company – no pressure, no competitions.

We’ve been doing this for over 13 years, on every second Sunday of the month. Bake something or just come to eat – everyone’s welcome.


What Our Bakers Say

Real Bakes. Real People. Really Good Times.

But don’t just take our word for it—our bakers know what makes this group special. From building confidence to finding community or just sharing something sweet, here’s why Village Bakers is their favourite recipe for friendship, fun, and feeling fabulous.
