Cooking sessions at Mayfair

We will be running FREE cookery sessions specifically for young people aged 12 to 16. These will take place on Wednesday afternoons from 1pm to 3pm in our fully accessible kitchen at Mayfair. Our cook Nicki will be running these sessions and passing on lots of useful kitchen skills to take forward in life and well as helping to create some delicious dishes.

We’re delighted that the Shropshire Healthy Lives Advisor for Children and Young People will be coming along to these sessions to help support the young people
there.

Learn basic cooking skills and how to cook on a budget at Mayfair. All ingredients will be provided.
