Oatcake Day organiser Terry Bossons said “This years event is the biggest yet and I’m getting lots of enquiries of how people can get involved. It’s great that so many people are getting behind the cause and who knows it could become an “official” day in the near future. We’ve tried to make it as diverse as we can, hopefully there’s something for everyone across Oatcake Land"


WHAT IS

OATCAKE DAY?

OATCAKE DAY was founded by local DJ Terry Bossons in 2010 and has rapidly grown in popularity. It is held annually on the 8th. August and 2012 is the third year it has been held.

More than 8,000 people backed a campaign on Facebook after Terry, from Biddulph, suggested the North Staffordshire oatcake should have its own special day.

Terry organises a special music night and various other events every year to honour the oatcake and has become known for persuading stars of music, tv, comedy and sports to pose with an “I Support Oatcake Day” placard.

Stars including rock guitarist Slash to comedian Ricky Gervais have been persuading to back Oatcake Day by Terry.

He said: “Support for Oatcake Day has grown rapidly since we first launched it in 2010. The community has really got behind the campaign and it is fantastic. It’s all about a celebrating a North Staffordshire delicacy and raising money for a good cause along the way.”
