Adult Workshops & Evening Classes in Belfast

If your idea of an evening class involves a knife, an apron and someone else doing the washing up, Belfast's cookery schools have got you covered. Belfast Cookery School runs sessions for over-16s, two to four hours depending what you book, and it's right in the centre. A short walk away, Waterman Cookery School has you cooking every dish yourself while a chef talks you through the recipe. Forestside Cookery School, also close by, does adults-only group classes from £65 a head for Asian menus, rising to £85 if you fancy ribeye dry aged beef. For a straightforward first go, Waterman's hands-on format is hard to beat. If you want a set menu and a clear price before you book, Forestside spells it out from £65, though you'll need to book ahead. Belfast Cookery School's flexible timings suit an evening after work as well as a longer weekend session. All three are for adults only, so there's no under-16s option here, and all sit within easy reach of the centre, so parking or a taxi home isn't a headache.
