A popular bakery in Stevenage has officially opened in another location, with the launch event "a huge success".

Leavened Bakery, run by Izabela Stuchlik, opened in Stevenage Indoor Market in 2020, before expanding to the Old Town in May last year.

The business has now opened a bakery in Weston.

Izabela said: "After years of baking in the indoor market, we have finally settled in our new home on Lannock Farm in Weston.

"We are now a 'proper' bakery, with unlimited access to our space, which will allow us to cover some events, organise our own events and potentially open to wholesale.

"We have created a beautiful and cosy space with a natural feel, thanks to the exposed wooden beams.

"We can now increase our production to meet the demand and get even more creative.

"We have already secured a regular event, which is going to be a book and pudding club.

"The site itself is still work in progress, but we have a bit of indoor and outdoor seating for our customers, if anyone wants to get away from town.

"We held a soft opening this Saturday and it was a huge success, with plenty of people coming and queuing to support us, and we were very happy with the turnout.

"We are planning to be open Thursday till Sunday, just like our Old Town shop."
