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.
