Holiday classes
Fun, hands-on cookery classes for children that run during the school holidays
Who’s it for?
These daytime sessions are aimed at children aged 8–14 who receive benefits-related free school meals (please contact us if this does not apply). They provide a fun, educational activity during the school holidays, with a freshly made lunch included.
When running, these classes happen 4 days a week (Mondays to Thursdays), and we offer each child 1 class per week. If there's space, we can book your child onto more.
