The Great British Bake Off returns to our screens tonight (March 17) for a Celebrity special for Stand Up To Cancer with a new batch of contestants ready to take on the baking challenges.
Viewers know the importance of the Bake Off Tent which hosts the whole series, seeing all the bakes come to life but you might be wondering where exactly it’s located.
Whether you’re thinking of applying for the show in the future or you’re just curious to know where the white tent is erected, look no further.
Where is The Great British Bake Off filmed?
The Great British Bake Off is filmed at Welford Park in Berkshire and has been since series five of the show in 2014 (not including the two-year Covid period), according to Country & Town House.
The white marquee, known as the Bake Off Tent, is pitched near the Welford Park House and the round-tower church.
Unfortunately, the marquee is only erected for filming purposes and can’t be visited by members of the public.
However, Bake Off fans can now spend time at Welford Park.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
