Vintage Afternoon Tea Workshop with Max Clark

Tea time may be a thing of the past, but meltingly soft cakes and light airy scones, never lose their appeal. On this one day work shop with Max Clark, learn the basic skills of cake and biscuit making, then, let your imagination run wild and decorate them to your own style and taste for a bespoke finish.

Guests will work individually, and take their freshly baked goods home for tea.

Lunch isn’t served on this workshop, but you are invited to stay for a glass of dessert wine to enjoy with one of your creations at the end of the session.
