SANDY Docherty, a former contestant of the Great British Bake-off, is to appear at The Great Bingley Bake Off, this weekend.

The welfare officer at Titus Salt School in Baildon, pictured at Haworth Fairtrade Group bake-off earlier this month, will host the event and will also be demonstrating some of her own baking skills at Bingley Arts Centre on Good Friday, which is the opening day of the event.

Mike Armstrong, also known as Baker Mike, the award winning Sainsbury’s master baker from Keighley, will appear alongside her on the opening day.

The event over the Easter weekend in the town has been organised by Bingley Chamber of Trade and Commerce, who are reviving the Bingley Food Festival.

It will feature a fully covered indoor market and licensed bar in the Main Town Square and live cookery demonstrations in Bingley Arts Centre.
