Young Chef at Airfield Estate

Calling All Young Chefs! Join Our Hands-On Cooking Workshops!

Our hands-on cooking series is specially designed for budding chefs aged 8-12 years, eager to embark on a culinary adventure!

Join us in our Neff Inspiration Kitchen, overlooking our bountiful food garden, as we dive into the world of sustainable, seasonal cooking. Led by our experienced education team, each workshop will be a delightful journey of discovery, where young chefs will learn to create wholesome meals for the whole family, using ingredients sourced from our own organic garden whenever possible.

Hosted on Sundays from 10 am to 12:30 pm, these workshops cover sweet, savoury, and everything in between. Our Young Chef Workshops promise to cultivate a love for cooking and a deeper connection to real, fresh ingredients.
