Perfect your patisserie skills and learn how to create chocolate perfection this Spring, with new daytime masterclasses, and luxury weekend stays led by a former Royal pastry chef.

The classes and stays are hosted at Hales Hall, a spectacular privately-owned Tudor estate, situated on the edge of the beautiful Norfolk Broads.

Former Royal pastry chef Kathryn Cuthbertson MVO will lead the classes in the 40-foot kitchen at Hales Hall. Options include full-day masterclasses; an indulgent two-night private house five-star stay; private group stays for up to 14 people, and one-on-one coaching.

Paula Martin, director of Norfolk Pheasant, said: “Launching Norfolk Pheasant’s culinary classes with Kathryn onboard our team of experts is a huge coup.
