Three, Two, One, Bake Off!
Remember John Whaite, previous Great British Bake Off winner? Who wouldn’t love to spend a day in his kitchen learning how to create the perfect Afternoon Tea or scrumptious puddings and pies? John Whaites Kitchen is based in Wrightington in the heart of rural Lancashire. There’s a range of hands-on classes from fine patisserie to rustic home cooking. The classes, taught by John, start with breakfast and coffee. After the day’s lesson, the group sit down together and enjoy the fruit of their labours with a glass of fizz.
Tact alert: This is not a mother’s day present ‘because Mum can’t bake’, but ‘because Mum loves to bake’.

Blacksmith for a Day
Traditional blacksmithing is a craft that has deep and enduring roots in our culture and history. Located at Yew Tree Barn near Grange-over-Sand, Bespokers Forge is home to Artist Blacksmith John Law. He has opened up the forge to give people the opportunity to try this ancient craft for themselves, under his expert guidance. A one day course for a maximum of 4 people includes lunch and drinks. Basic blacksmithing techniques are taught in the morning, and the afternoon is spent on ‘a project’ of your choosing.
Price: £90
Sunday Roast – Mum’s Day Off
