Sourdough September
As the leaves begin to turn and a gentle autumn breeze fills the air, Sourdough September 2026 arrives with the promise of warmth, wholesome flavour, and golden-crusted loaves, and we believe there is no better way to embrace the joy of this annual celebration than with a Welbeck Bakehouse loaf.

Welbeck Bakehouse is renowned for championing the authentic craft of sourdough. Skilled bakers lovingly shape each loaf, and the dough is fermented over time to develop a depth of taste and a unique character.

But the celebration doesn’t end at the bakery doors. Across the courtyard, The School of Artisan Food invites bread enthusiasts of all backgrounds to roll up their sleeves and discover the art of breadmaking for themselves. The school’s expert-led courses will guide you through the magical transformation of flour, water, and salt into nourishing, flavourful sourdough. Whether you’re an eager beginner or an aspiring professional, these immersive classes offer hands-on experience, time-honoured techniques, and the satisfaction of sharing good bread with others.

Sourdough September is your invitation to connect with the heart of baking, to learn new skills, and to join a vibrant community passionate about real bread. Visit Welbeck Farm Shop for freshly baked sourdough, or sign up for a course at The School of Artisan Food to start your own sourdough adventure.
