Gather with purpose Team Events with a Difference

Make your next team day memorable at our award-winning not-for-profit cookery school and garden. Rooted in exciting and lively Hackney, we offer full days and half days for up to 20 people, that combine outdoor activities, hands-on cooking, and a chance to make a difference to the local community.

What to expect?

Step away from the everyday and into a space where food, nature and community come together for a memorable team away day or group event at Hackney School of Food.

Choose from full days, half days and two-hour team-building cooking experiences designed to spark connection, creativity and fun, starting from just £80 per person.

Every booking helps fund food education for children, families and our community, so a memorable day here creates positive social impact too.
