River Cottage Cookery School from PopupMedia on Vimeo.

Welcome to Park Farm, home to the River Cottage Cookery School, for hands-on, simple, seasonal cookery.

Whether you are an amateur cook, a food enthusiast or a full-blown smallholder, there's a course to inspire you. 

Lasting from one to four days, you can choose a course to match your specific area of interest.

You will be taught by the River Cottage team of experts and authors, with an emphasis on local, seasonal produce with a nose-to-tail approach.

Your day will be totally hands-on and you’ll be making and tasting fantastic food as the day progresses, and this will be accompanied by a delicious seasonal lunch.

All in the wonderful surroundings of 'Britain’s most-filmed farmhouse'!

"The pace is just right, balancing heads-down cooking with downtime to savour your efforts and the magic of Britain's most filmed farmhouse," says Claire Hargreaves, from the BBC Good Food magazine.
