At Gerards-Steeghs Bakery & Baking Experience in Horst, you can taste the love for the baking craft. This traditional bakery has been making Limburgse vlaaien, sausage rolls and other regional products since 1886. Today, it is not only about baking, but also about experiencing the craft for yourself.

Limburgs Vlaaibakkerij Museum

At the Limburgs Vlaaibakkerij Museum, you discover the story behind the Limburgse vlaai. You see how old baking traditions come together with the baking craft of today. During a guided tour, you experience the atmosphere of the past and take a look inside the modern bakery.

Workshops and group activities

Want to try it yourself? Choose a workshop or baking demonstration. You can bake Limburgse vlaai, make sausage rolls or prepare Peel Pizza. The activities are well suited to a group outing, family activity or team day.

Bake date for companies

Special packages are available for companies and organisations. For example, combine a guided tour of the museum with a baking workshop and tasting. This way, you can be active together while still having plenty of time to talk.

MEET and EAT: the sausage roll workshop

During this workshop, you learn step by step how to make your own sausage rolls. Pushing the dough “inschète in d’n aove”, which means sliding it into the oven, is of course part of the experience. Afterwards, you taste your own sausage rolls, fresh from the oven.

Workshops in Horst and at other locations

The workshops and demonstrations take place in Horst. On request, they can also be organised at another location or at the Peelmuseum in America.
