What it’s like

Hands-on cooking classes ranging from kids' festival workshops to a father-and-child pizza battle.

This is a proper working kitchen classroom, not a demo where someone else does the fun bits. You get stuck in yourself, whether that's a half term session with a chef, a festival workshop, or the Father and Child Pizza Battle, which is exactly the kind of thing that sounds like a laugh and probably is.

The range on offer is wide. Half Term Fun classes start from £24, the kids' workshops at the Littleborough Food & Drink Festival are a very reasonable £2.50, and the Father and Child Pizza Battle comes in at £65. At the other end there are proper masterclasses for adults, things like Fabulous Fish at £90 or a curry cooking class at £55, plus a four week course of two-hour sessions for £200 if you want to actually learn to cook rather than just have a nice afternoon.

Birthday parties and private bookings are on the table too, starting from £250, so it's worth thinking of this as a venue for a celebration as much as a one-off class. There's no age range given for the kids' sessions.

Nothing here is free and there's no walk-in casual booking mentioned, so this is a plan-ahead outing rather than a spontaneous one. But the prices span from a couple of quid at a festival stall to a serious four-week commitment.
