Open to everyone who has a passion for cooking!

Founded on years of experience and culinary expertise, the WI Cookery School programme combines the teaching of traditional skills with innovative and creative ideas.The WI Cookery School offers a fantastic range of day schools, residential courses and family courses.

Courses range from the delights of Indian cuisine, the best of British produce, specialist bread and doughs, seasonal dishes for the spring, summer and autumn along with traditional favourites such as the ultimate comfort foods, summer jams and preserves and festive dining. 

The courses are tutored by specialists with many years of experience and the ability to provide both fun and educational courses in a Cookery School equipped with the latest equipment.

On each course, the tutor will demonstrate skills and methods for the class so that they can easily follow the recipes and enjoy the experience of trying something new.  At the end of each course, students even take home some of their cooking for friends and family to enjoy.
