Join us at Moonacres School for our Stir-up Sunday  - a festive morning of joyous Christmas baking!  From the ultimate Christmas pudding, to fruit mince tarts, savoury biscuits and other delightful Christmas treats for your table or as gifts.

Stir-up Sunday derives its name from Anglican tradition. Inspired by the lines in the Book of Common Prayer on the last Sunday before Advent - "Stir up, we beseech thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people" - it became associated with the custom of making Christmas puddings and fruit mince on that day.

To us it symbolises the spirit of the festive season - coming together to cook, and making delicious treats for friends and family. What a great way to celebrate the season with like-minded cooks (and Christmas tragics!), to celebrate the happiest time of the year.

Come and join renowned cook, author and local, Anna Phillips: stir the pot, get festive and have some fun. You will go home with a bundle of Christmas cheer -  puddings, tarts and other baked treats.
