FAN favourites from the Great British Bake Off will be making an appearance at the Hartford Grange this weekend.

Val Stones and Louise Williams were very popular during the seventh season of the hit show.

They will be providing baking tips as well as providing treats such as bread rolls, sausage rolls, cheese scones, tarts and cupcakes.

Val established herself as a favourite with her bake-aerobics, optimism and the various stories about her family.

She made it through to pastry week, Val got top marks from the judges for her classic bakes and came out on top in the tricky Dampfnudel technical challenge.

Louise impressed the judges with her flavours, but famously left after her gingerbread scene collapsed in the final moments of the showstopper challenge.

The two have remained friends since the show and regularly meet up to exchange recipes and bake together.

Last year they made some promotional films for Redrow, demonstrating the practicality of the homebuilder’s kitchens.

Val said: “As the weather, hopefully, gets warmer, there’s nothing better than preparing to make the most of it with a bit of al fresco dining with friends and family.

“Louise makes some excellent savoury pasties and I’m told my sausage rolls are delicious. We’ll make sure that there are plenty of samples for Redrow’s customers to try.”

Jason Newton, sales director for Redrow Homes, added: “We’re delighted to have Val and Louise with us for the day and know that customers will enjoy their banter as well as their beautiful bakes.

“It’s a perfect way to experience the lifestyle that’s waiting to be enjoyed at our Hartford Grange development.”

Redrow’s Great British Picnic with Val and Louise will run from 11am until 3pm on Sunday, April 22 at the development on Walnut Lane.
