Coming from Amesbury
Amesbury claims to be the oldest settlement in Britain, and Stonehenge is just up the road.
It is a long drive, and we will say so. The people who make it come for the Masterclass and leave with the skills to bake at home for good.
We will be honest: 75 minutes is a drive. Classes run Tuesday to Thursday, so make a day of it with the Masterclass and a walk by the Thames. Private groups from Amesbury can ask about other days.
