Bake Off winner Nadiya to headline
Newport Show
The winner of the Great British Bake Off Nadiya Hussain has been
unveiled as the celebrity chef headlining the next Newport Show.
The mum of three will be making her first appearance
in the county at the show on July 9.
Nadiya will give demonstrations and talk about her
rise to baking fame. She is expected to be a popular
draw with show-goers, many whom will have seen
her emotional victory on the BBC1 programme in
October.
The 107th Newport Show, one of Shropshire’s largest
one-day events, will be held at the Chetwynd Deer
Park and last year attracted a record 13,000 visitors.
Nadiya, who is now a weekly columnist for The Times
magazine and is writing her first book, will headline
in the show’s food-related attractions, which will also
feature a host of gourmet local food, wine and beer
suppliers.
The show offers a vast programme of family
entertainment and livestock and horse competitions.
There will also be a schools marquee, a focus on
horticulture, a craft fair and other stalls.
Nadiya said: “I’m very excited to be coming to
Newport Show and Shropshire for the first time. I’ll
be demonstrating recipes from my book that will
be published in June and I’m looking forward to
meeting Bake Off fans.”
Show President Martin Hall said: “We are over the
moon to have enticed Nadiya to Shropshire for the
first time and to the Newport Show.
“Her victory in the Bake Off and her amazing creative
flair and open personality captured the hearts of the
15 million viewers and we are very much looking
forward to her visit to the show.”
