Craft, create and connect through hands-on food education rooted in tradition and sustainability. A four-week artisan food journey in the heart of Sherwood Forest.

Would you like to spend four weeks immersed in the world of artisan baking, patisserie and viennoiserie? Then our Artisan Summer School is for you!

Sign up for our summer school and you will spend four weeks learning a range of traditional food production skills, including baking bread, patisserie and viennoiserie, pizza making, outdoor cooking and ice cream making.

This 4-week course is suitable for home bakers and anyone with a love of artisan food. No previous experience is necessary as you'll be guided by our world-class tutors to establish strong foundations and progress to advanced skills throughout your time with us.

You’ll be taught in a small group in our specialist training rooms, gaining lots of hands-on experience and developing your skills, techniques and confidence day by day. You will also form invaluable connections with other people who are passionate about traditional food.

The School of Artisan Food is situated in the middle of 15,000 acres of rolling parkland on the beautiful Welbeck Estate at the edge of Sherwood Forest. It’s a gorgeous setting to learn in, and we also offer accommodation options if you wish to stay on the estate for the duration of the course.

Throughout your time at The School of Artisan Food you will be supported by our team of technicians and hospitality staff. If you choose to stay on the estate, your weekends can be spent enjoying the many sightseeing opportunities in the surrounding area or simply relaxing and taking it all in.

Spaces are limited as the Summer School is designed for a small group to get the absolute best from The School of Artisan Food environment.
