Cook them in our replica medieval bread oven, just as castle cooks once did! This workshop is designed for teenagers aged 12 to 16. Accompanying adults are welcome, but not essential.

Please let us know of any allergies when booking. This activity is part of our Heritage for Youth programme. Teenagers can get hands-on with history through interactive workshops.
