The oven building was a really enjoyable day (Chris)
Thanks for a very enjoyable day, I have already recommended it to two other people. (PJ)
Rupert – many thanks to you and your family for a thoroughly enjoyable day on Saturday (RB)
This really was a very good course. I thought that building a clay oven may have been difficult, it wasn't, anybody could do it. We made pizza and ate roast lamb for lunch, all cooked in the clay oven of course. We then made bread to take home. Excellent. I'm now going to make myself a clay oven at home. (MB)
The food was great and we had the bread for Tea tonight. It was wonderful and has motivated me into making some more this evening, cooked in a plain oven unfortunately. (TW)

Where it takes place


The courses are held at the Stable Rooms (Education Centre) and adjoining Paddock at Wandlebury.
This is a peaceful open green space up on the Magog Hills in the surroundings of the Wandlebury Country Park.
Each course consists of up to 8 people. Most of the course will be inside undercover but you will need to come prepared with old shoes and warm clothing for treading the clay and feeding the oven.
You cannot realistically make an oven in one day, it is a layered process that required drying in-between.
On site there are two working ovens which will be used for making bread and cooking.

Courses are from £90 pp.
