Get hands-on with fermentation and take home a new skill for life!

Curious about fermentation? Love discovering new flavours, trying something different, and learning practical skills in good company? Come and explore the wonderful world of wild fermentation in this relaxed, sociable, hands-on workshop.

Fermentation is an ancient way of transforming simple ingredients into something delicious, exciting, and full of character. In this workshop, we'll explore the basics, get curious about the wild side of fermentation, taste different flavours, and make our own ferment together.

No experience needed, just bring your curiosity!

What to expect

Discover the basics

Learn what fermentation is, how it works, and how everyday ingredients can transform through the magic of microbes.

Explore wild fermentation

Go beyond the basics and discover the fascinating world of wild ferments. We'll look at what works, what doesn't, what to look out for, and how to understand the process with confidence.

Taste and explore

Try different fermented flavours, discover new tastes and textures, and learn how fermentation can bring depth and character to food.

Get hands-on

Make your own ferment during the workshop, with guidance along the way. You'll learn practical techniques you can repeat in your own kitchen.

Take your skills home

You won't leave empty-handed! You'll take home your own jar of fermentation that we've made together.

More than just a workshop

This is a chance to slow down, get your hands busy, ask questions, experiment, share ideas, and meet like-minded people. Fermentation is both a science and an art, and part of the fun is learning to understand the process, embracing the surprises, and discovering what you enjoy.

The aim is for you to leave feeling inspired and confident enough to start fermenting again and again, using simple ingredients and the equipment you already have.

Come for the flavours, stay for the fun, and leave with a skill that lasts a lifetime.

Perfect for curious food lovers, adventurous cooks, beginners, and anyone who wants to discover a more creative, hands-on way of working with food.

No previous experience required. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to get stuck in!
