Learn to bake scones and other treats for a classic afternoon tea during a baking class near Shakespeare's house. The class takes place in a charming cottage near the town center, and includes scones and other snacks served with tea or coffee, and a glass of sparkling wine. You might make brownies, sweet and savory scones, and jam from organic ingredients. You’ll also be provided with recipes and scones to take with you.

Stratford-Upon-Avon is a market town packed full of history and beautiful English countryside. We'll take a stroll through the town stopping at key sites for photos before heading to the scenic 'Greenway' where you'll see English countryside at its best. We'll then head to one of my favourite English cafes for a hot drink and a continuation of the class where you'll get to ask any questions and review what you've learnt!

Your ticket includes what no other does! Which is a cooked breakfast to start the day, before exploring Stratford-upon-Avon for 4 hours however you wish to, with ticket access to ALL of the following: Shakespear's Birthplace, Shakespeares New Place, Hall's Croft, Anne Heathaway's Cottage, Mary Arden's Farm. Finally ending the day with a fun art painting workshop! No art painting experience neccessary. :) This is a great way of being able to enjoy interacting with other couples as well as being able to have time to enjoy the beautiful Stratford-upon-Avon alone with your loved one. Miss It, Miss Out!!

Our workshops are tutored at a leisurely pace, whilst listening to some relaxing music to set the ambience, together with like-minded people. Our venues of choice match the setting that you expect for a hand on arts experience, and we only work with local independent business venues. At the end of the workshop we will clear away all art material waste and take this with us, so both you, and the venue, don’t have to worry about the ‘post artwork’ clean-up. We also hold the appropriate public and products liability insurance.
