Live Cookery Demonstrations: more to be announced soon!

Would you like to learn how to cook healthy, plant based and vegetarian meals? After receiving funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, from April 2026, the Council will be running FREE in person workshops across the Borough (12 in total) for Runnymede residents with our partner Sally Gerrard from GoodCooks. Sally has been writing recipes, creating delicious food for her clients and running cookery classes for many years. 

Even if you are a complete beginner, you can still attend our classes. Sally will guide you through all the skills you need to make cooking fun and tasty. To express an interest in taking part, please fill in the online form.
