British Pie Awards 2021 – Covid 19 Update

Having considered the impact of Covid 19 restrictions likely to be still in force for early 2021, the organisers have decided not to hold the event during British Pie Week, normally the first week in March 2021.  We have consulted with judges, sponsors and piemakers and the overwhelming response is to hold the event late Summer early Autumn 2021.  A specific date and timetable will be published in due course.
