The Tomtar's Christmas Kitchen: A Festive Baking Challenge

Think you've got what it takes to help Santa get ready for Christmas?

This festive season, The Cook's Place is opening its kitchen to a slightly older team (secondary school age) of Christmas bakers, with some very special Scandinavian visitors – the Tomtar! 

Inspired by Scandinavian Christmas traditions, this is your chance to get hands-on in the kitchen, learn some new baking skills and create a few festive treats worthy of Santa himself.

We'll be making traditional Scandinavian Pepparkakor – deliciously spiced Christmas biscuits – and learning how to make proper mince pies, with buttery pastry and all the festive flavours you'd expect.

Expect plenty of festive fun, a little Scandinavian Christmas magic and the chance to show off your baking creativity.

And there's a challenge too! Come dressed in your best Christmas-inspired outfit, because there's a Golden Ticket waiting for the best-dressed baker.

Whether you're a budding baker or simply love getting creative in the kitchen, come and join the Tomtar for a festive session with a difference.

Santa's counting on you!

Please note that this session is for secondary aged children. There is another session running on the same day for younger children.
