The Great British Bake Off is primarily filmed at Welford Park, an estate located in Berkshire, England. The iconic white tent is pitched on the grounds of Welford Park, alongside the beautiful Grade-I Listed Welford Park House and its distinctive round-tower church. Filming at Welford Park has been common since 2014, except during the COVID-19 pandemic when filming temporarily moved to Down Hall Hotel in Essex for the 11th and 12th series to accommodate restrictions. Before settling at Welford Park, earlier series were filmed at various locations including Valentines Mansion in Redbridge and Harptree Court in Somerset. The original first season filmed in different UK locations matching each week's theme but this became a one-off setup. Welford Park is a private estate that also features picturesque gardens, parkland, an apple orchard, and woodland, contributing an idyllic backdrop to the show. The contestants stay in local hotels nearby rather than on the estate itself. The tent is typically erected for around 10 to 13 weeks of filming in spring and early summer. In summary, Welford Park in Berkshire is the main filming location for Bake Off in recent years, with Down Hall in Essex being a notable temporary location during the pandemic.
