The trip takes 2 parts - firstly on arrival the group will split into two, and half of the group will be taken to the Raymond Blanc Cookery School to see a live cooking demonstration hosted by chefs from the hotel's experienced team.

 

While this happens, the other half of our party will take their seats to see a flower arranging demonstration hosted by the local florist who works closely with the Hotel creating some truly stunning arrangements.

 

The groups then swap so both parties will see both activities.

 

We then regroup for a Champagne reception with Canapes

​

Shortly after this, we are then called into 'La Belle Epoque' dining room where we will have lunch. Personalised name cards will be on each table, along with menus for you to take home as a memento.

Lunch is served in 'La Belle Epoque' (pictured right), which we have exclusive use of for the day. This room will hold 5 tables of 10 people, and each guest will have a personalised name card and souvenir menu to take home with them.
