Radical Bakers Summer Gathering

Radical Bakers Summer Gathering 2022 will be 7-10th July at Crabapple.

Radical Bakers Summer Gathering is our main event of the year, held at Crabapple Community, Shrewsbury, one of the oldest housing co-ops in the UK. There are full days of activities along with a couple of great bands each night on the Green Dragon Solar Stage. We run a café bar and offer fully catered tickets. As well as a full timetable of scheduled workshops, we have the Baking Area, Camp Market, Green Woodworking and Textiles, Wild Plant Walks and tours of the Crabapple grounds and gardens. For children we have 2 sessions of organised activities each day and a Kid’s Baking Session. Our workshops involve practical tasks we can do together to achieve a concrete goal, or are there to give you information you can use to improve your life and the lives of those around you.
