Bakers Club

Do you love to bake?

The Hastings Bakers Club meets to share recipes, baking tips, and of course food! We have a new theme every month, and bring along something we’ve made to share. Bakers Club members also get first access to new baking and food books.

It’s a great way to meet new people, learn something new and bond over kai. Baking experiments are more than welcome!

When do we meet?

We meet once a month on the 1st Tuesday of each month
10.30am - 11.30am at Hastings War Memorial Library

What are the monthly themes?
