Drawing on the amazing range of skills and experience of the Women's Institute, the WI Cookery School  is a modern purpose-built cookery school located just outside Abingdon in Oxfordshire. We offer a full range of inspiring hands-on classes for all ages and abilities, from knife skills workshops to family baking days, sushi masterclasses to seasonal Spanish food.  

We welcome members and non-members alike and provide courses of varying lengths, from day classes to four-night residential courses for those wishing to fully immerse themselves in their chosen subject. We also run shorter evening classes which are perfect for busy foodies, as well as a Sunday Morning Bakery.

Set in the grounds of a magnificent country house and fully equipped with the latest Morphy Richards appliances and kitchenware, each of the 12 workstations is kitted out with its own Stoves oven, fridge and a choice of electric or gas powered hobs. Best of all, we do all the laborious preparation such as weighing out ingredients so that you can spend more time cooking.
