This Christmas, Bread Ahead Wembley is spreading festive cheer with a truly magical attraction – the largest gingerbread house Wembley has ever seen. Located in the heart of Wembley Park, the artisan bakery and baking school is inviting families, locals and visitors to step into a world of Christmas wonder.

Open from now until Sunday 21 December, the spectacular gingerbread house is set to be one of the most eye-catching festive displays in London this season.

The biggest gingerbread house Wembley has ever seen

Built by Bread Ahead’s talented team of bakers and festive elves, the giant Gingerbread House is nothing short of show-stopping. Standing an impressive 4 metres tall, 3.5 metres wide and 2.5 metres deep, the structure has been created using over 400kg of gingerbread, 500kg of golden syrup, 100kg of icing sugar and more than 2,000 sweets.

Designed to amaze visitors of all ages, it offers the perfect festive photo opportunity for friends and family and is guaranteed to stop passers-by in their tracks.
