Looking for the summer holiday activities in Bristol? Our International Cookery Club for children (8–14) offers a new culinary adventure every day.

🌐 Global Flavours: Junior Chef Holiday Camp

Ages 7–14 | Monday to Friday, 9:30 AM – 3:30 PM

Give your child a passport to culinary confidence! From scratch-made Italian dough-flinging to the precise art of rolling fresh Japanese sushi, watch your young chef mix, bake, chop, and smile their way to independence.

🌟 Why Parents & Kids Love Our Camp

  • Lifelong Kitchen Skills: We don’t just assemble food. Children learn genuine technical mechanics: knife holds (The Claw and The Bridge), safe stovetop management, nutritional balances, and baking science.

  • No Stress for Parents: Lunch and afternoon desserts are completely taken care of. They prep it, they cook it, they eat it!

  • Fussy Eaters Transformed: Culinary psychology shows that children are 80% more likely to try new ingredients and vibrant global flavours when they choose, chop, and cook the dishes themselves.

  • Tailored for All Skill Levels: Children are paired dynamically by age.
