Learn to cook with Delia and her team on a Norfolk tour
BIG skies, vast beaches that stretch for miles and pretty, peaceful villages just made for pottering – there’s a lot to love about Norfolk. From its famous Broads to historic market towns, the county offers a slice of quintessential English countryside and seaside.
Here’s your chance to get to know the very best of Lord Nelson’s county and enjoy a special culinary experience in the company of TV cookery star Delia Smith.
On this exclusive five-day tour, you’ll be hosted by Delia for a full day at her Food and Wine Workshop, where you’ll also be joined by chef Alex Mackay, cocktail expert Simon Atkinson and wine expert Jason Banner. Your fun-packed food and drink experiences will include a three-course lunch, a wine-tasting, a cooking demonstration with Alex, a cocktail masterclass and a Q&A session with Delia and the team.
You’ll also dine at Delia’s Restaurant and Bar – but this is just the start of your Norfolk adventure. You’ll enjoy a ride on the Bure Valley Railway, join a paddle-steamer on the beautiful Broads and tour historic Blickling Hall, near Aylsham.
You’ll also visit the lovely towns and villages of the North Norfolk coast, including Burnham Market, and take a tour of Norwich itself.
