About Us

Love to bake? Love a good natter? Or just love cake? Youโ€™re in the right place. Village Bakers is Manchesterโ€™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 โ€“ no pressure, no competitions.

Weโ€™ve been doing this for over 13 years, on every second Sunday of the month. Bake something or just come to eat โ€“ everyoneโ€™s welcome.

But donโ€™t just take our word for itโ€”our bakers know what makes this group special. From building confidence to finding community or just sharing something sweet, hereโ€™s why Village Bakers is their favourite recipe for friendship, fun, and feeling fabulous.
