Great British Bake Off finalist Christiaan de Vries (pictured) is joining the Shrewsbury Food Festival line-up this year. Christiaan impressed the Bake Off judges with his artistic bakes and creative flavour combinations during the 2024 series.
Shrewsbury Food Festival will take place on 28 and 29 June in the Quarry. Christiaan will join local chefs leading demonstrations, with the rest of Shrewsbury’s park hosting all the usual foodie, family fun with two live entertainment stages, street food, bars, 200 food, drink and home stalls, and free kids rides and activities.
Originally from the Netherlands and now based in London, Christiaan’s baking style is all about making delicious creations easy to try at home, often with a surprising twist to keep things exciting. His background in fashion shines through in his intricate designs and elegant bakes. Now splitting his time between the UK and the Netherlands, he brings his love of baking to Dutch TV screens while sharing his latest recipes with a growing community on Instagram.
