£95.00pp - 3 Hour Experience

Join us in the Wild Meadow baking marquee for a one-of-a-kind experience, featuring expert baking tips and tricks, fun competitions and plenty of food and drink along the way! This 3 hour experience features three competition elements, set by our expert baking tutor; a guided bake, a challenge bake and decorating challenge. Who will be crowned top baker of the day?  

Your 3 hour experience includes a welcome glass of fizz, canapé snacks, tea & coffee and all the ingredients you’ll need for the competition. You’ll get to dig in to (or box up!)  all the bakes you make on the day, and take part in a spread of the day’s bakes with your fellow competitors and tutor. 

A perfect day out gift to share with a date, a friend or family member, and a relaxed opportunity to meet like-minded baking fans in the area. We source as many ingredients as we can from a maximum of a 20 mile radius from our Cheshire farm – so you’re supporting local too! Our on site bar will be open throughout the day. 

We are also delighted to be able to offer a 15% discount for Students and Blue Light card holders. Simply choose the relevant ticket on checkout and don’t forget your ID on the day!
