The 10 Best Classes & Workshops in Cornwall, England

July 26, 2021 Frederic Celentano

Cornwall is the extreme southwestern peninsula of England. It has the longest stretch of continuous coastline in Britain and it is one of the sunniest areas in the UK. With picturesque villages, Celtic ruins, light blue waters, gardens and parks and unique architecture it certainly is among the most scenic areas of England. Home of many events and festivals and the land of Cornish pasty, it is definitely worth visiting.

I booked this lesson for my sons 21st birthday to share with his brother.from the time of booking to thee finish of their experience the customer care was really good .The facilities are good plenty of hire kit ,showers and towels and lockers for those having lessons and right on the beautiful beach .parking was easy and pretty cheap £6.80 for all day.Also lots of amenities near by. The instructor Karl was superb his instruction just great ,It is rare to find an instructor who really loves what he does and he was so enthusiastic,energetic and encouraging they had an inspired and enjoyable afternoon.Karl was professional and able to judge their ability and skills accurately and progress when possible.My boys have come away with the desire to pursue this sport further at home and hope to return to the academy at some stage to improve once they have practiced. As aa coach of sport myself I can not reccommend Karl a and the academy enough.He was superb value for money £180.00 of expert skilled instruction for 3 hours a bargain.Also thanks to Karl who went above and beyond with his time and although he was fully booked fitted my boys in again at the end of a long day so that they could finish their qualification.If visiting Watergate bay book in you will love it.

Fat Hen - The Wild Cookery School

Fat Hen is a Foraging & Wild Food Cookery School, established in 2007, in West Cornwall, by Caroline Davey. Fat Hen's bespoke hand crafted kitchen and teaching space is located in a restored granite barn on a farm in Cornwall. Beautiful natural materials including oak, slate and ash have been used alongside state of the art stainless steel equipment sponsored by SMEG & KENWOOD. The school offers unique foodie courses for people who want to get back to the original source of their food. Whether it be foraging for seaweeds and herbs, butchering venison or cooking crab to perfection, Fat Hen provides courses in all aspects of foraging and cooking wild food. If you can forage it, fish it or hunt it, we will show you how to cook it. Run by Caroline Davey in collaboration with our talented chefs, Fat Hen's Gourmet Wild Food Weekend has been chosen by the Saturday Telegraph as one of the best sustainable living courses in the UK.

Two events at Fat Hen: a seriously class act A birthday weekend, my wife went on a seaweed foraging and cooking day with 9 others and we booked Fat Hen’s ‘Crab-on-the-Beach’ offer on the following day for ourselves and 4 friends. Both events were superb. Foraging and learning about lava, gutweed, sea lettuce and the like made for an enchanting morning; watching and sharing cooking and eating a seaweed based meal more than fulfilled my wife’s dreams for the day. Something of a foodie, she was hoping for some excellent knowledge - an improved understanding of seaweed. She more than received this. (That we live 2.5 hours from the nearest coast is now our only slight challenge…) Crab-on-the-Beach took place on a September Saturday amidst non-stop sunshine. Caroline (Davey – the force behind Fat Hen) had set up a fire, tripod, wooden benches and table in a perfect spot on Sennen Beach – and brought with her a brown crab each to eat and some spider crabs to play around with. Cooked gently in an iron pot over the fire, cooled and then broken up and eaten, the eating of crab on the beach offered us one of life’s rich memories. Seaweed mayonnaise, partially foraged salad (my wife is now very excited by rock samphire) and homemade bread rolls just added to the pleasure. We can’t recommend this more warmly!
