I was given a voucher as a present and decided to do a Sauce cooking course at The Avenue Cookery School. Diana was a very engaging teacher. She gave us really good tips and solutions including recipes for sauces that were flexible and useful for so many dishes. She explain the logic of the cooking process without prescribed instructions. Lovely relaxed afternoon and lunch.

We had an amazing time at Brandon’s class - Brandon is a brilliant teacher who gave us clear instructions and great vibes! This experience was an engagement gift for us from friends and I couldn’t recommend this class enough for celebrating an occasion, or just for a fun evening! We will treasure our beautiful bowls forever x
Loukas Angelou
Ikebana Flower Arranging Workshop
The ikebana course was 2 hours and they have managed to fit a lot into it. We got taught the basics but enough to give us a base to start creating our ikebana arrangements. The group was small, which helped to follow the steps, interact and get to ask questions the teacher. I would recommend it to anyone who would like to give this as a present or see if ikebana is something that they are passionate + more

This workshop was a Christmas present for my partner, as we were supposed to attend one whilst we were on holiday in Japan, but couldn’t. We loved it! Our tutors were very welcoming and we enjoyed the Green Tea provided on arrival. They were very engaging and helpful throughout the workshop and the time flew by. We really liked our finished pieces and I bought the kit to finish the piece I brought + more

Received the class as a gift and it was the best workshop I've ever done. Relaxed atmosphere, teaching was informative and well paced. Had a great choice of art to work on, all manageable within the time limit and enthusiastic help from Vanessa. Highly recommended!

The dim sum making class was given to me as a birthday gift and wow, we had the best evening! Will was amazing from start to finish- he made us feel so welcome (and made us laugh throughout). He was really encouraging and, goes without saying, beyond knowledgable. The 3 different types of dim sum we made were so fun to make (and tasted delicious, we loved eating them afterwards!) It’s such a nice + more

Everlasting Wreath Making Workshop
The event was a birthday present for with two of my friends. Our teacher was Vicki and she was excellent. She explained and demonstrated everything very well and was continuously helpful as we made our wreaths. She was very easy to talk to. The materials were good and the whole vent was good value for money. The venue was perfect, easy to find and very pleasant to spend time in.

Thank you to Anita our teacher who explained clearly how to make a candle from scratch and infuse with oil. We learnt the difference between parrafin and soywax candles. It was a fun afternoon with a group of likeminded people. The end result was a beautiful handcrafted candle. The venue was easy to find and the workshop was light and airy and comfortable to work in. My experience was bought as a Christmas + more

I received a voucher from my sister as a gift and decided to embark on a solo adventure for some fun.

I appreciated the intimate setting and the diverse mix of guests, + more

Marina
I booked this class for a birthday present for a friend and three of us went. The teacher was really nice and helpful, she spread her time evenly, and she answered all our questions. There was enough time for one object repair and someone had enough time to fix his own bowl as well. All materials were provided and of great quality, and the ceramics are upcycled. The venue was very nice, just a bit + more

This experience was more than expected. A fantastic time was had. Louise has a gift not only in poetry making but also in her approach to teaching such a delicate skill to newbies. We enjoyed this so much the time went so fast. Will definitely be going back.
