Bugger me sideways!!
As the Eden Project is based in Cornwall, our World Pasty Championships celebrate the traditional Cornish pasty recipe, as well as some more unusual varieties.
From the Americas to Australia, pasties derived from recipes passed down by Cornish emigrants over centuries are eaten and enjoyed by many millions of people.
We've invited entries from around the world to our championships, and we'll set the table for both amateur and professional bakers to parade their wares. The championships are supported by the Cornish Pasty Association.
Alternatively, you can join us for a day of celebrations of all things Cornish, with a brilliant line-up of live music and comedy throughout the day.
