Fundraising afternoon with Leighton Morgan, former Great British Bake Off contestant, who bakes for St Wilfrid's Hospice in Eastbourne.
Leighton Morgan is bringing his baking to St Wilfrid's Hospice on Sunday 15 November, for a Great British Bake Off fundraiser that runs from 5.15pm to 7pm. Morgan is a former contestant on the show, and he's donating both his time and his bakes for free, so every penny raised on the night goes straight to the hospice.
The whole thing is the work of local fundraiser Jane Behan, who's got a bit of a trek ahead of her: in April 2027, she'll be walking the final 110 kilometres of the Camino to Santiago de Compostela on behalf of St Wilfrid's. This afternoon is one of the ways she's raising money for that walk, and it's a local one, right here in Eastbourne.
It's a simple enough setup: Morgan, who knows his way around a kitchen from his time on the Bake Off, is providing the bakes, and the proceeds go to the hospice. If you've ever wanted to see a former contestant in action, this is a good chance to do it while supporting a local cause. It's an early evening one, starting at 5.15pm and wrapping up by 7pm, so you're back home in time for dinner.

Between the baking and the fundraising, there's a fair bit of local effort behind it. Behan's walk is still a way off — April 2027 — and this is part of the lead-up to that. The event is at St Wilfrid's Hospice in Eastbourne, on Sunday 15 November, from 5.15pm to 7pm.
