Little Cooks
Cumbria
Classes from £65 for a half day, including lunch If your kids fancy cooking in a castle, then this can be a fun way to spend the day. The fun starts at around noon, cooking lunch and normally finishes at around 4pm by which time everyone will have made something delicious to take away and share. There’s usually a chance to feed the hens, collect their eggs, feed the goats and pick something from the kitchen garden too. Classes are scheduled throughout the year, but mostly during the main UK school holidays.
