COBS Bread is offering a nostalgic way to enjoy a free hot cross bun on March 1. Bring a recorder or any instrument, play the well-known tune in-store, and receive a freshly baked treat.
This one-day event brings back memories of elementary school music lessons, where many first learned to play “Hot Cross Buns” on a plastic recorder. Whether you are reliving those moments or supporting a child learning the song for the first time, this event is open to all ages. No performance level is required—just give it a try, and a free bun is yours.
Each hot cross bun is baked fresh and crafted by hand. Supplies are available on a first-come, first-play basis at every COBS Bread location. The bakery encourages participants to share their musical attempts on Instagram and TikTok using #HotCrossBunsDay and tagging @COBSBread.
More details about this event and bakery locations can be found on the COBS Bread website.
