A HUGE town centre bake sale will be held to boost funds for an armed services charity.

Home-made cakes, breads and biscuits will be on offer at the Bake for Heroes event in Clacton town square.

It is the fifth year of the annual event, organised to raise cash for Help for Heroes.

It relies on donations of baked items to sell.

Keen cooks can drop off cakes on the day or at the shop next to McDonald’s, in Pier Avenue, between 5pm and 7pm on May 8.

The event will take place on May 9, from 9am to 5pm – or until the cakes sell out.
