FAQs

Why are you charging $10.50 per person?

Sadly we have many students who register for free activities and do not attend.

A $10.50 charge will not only help us fund ingredients but will also reduce the likelihood of no-shows.

Why are there limited spaces available?

We are only able to have 10 participants. T he class is hosted by one of our amazing volunteers and we want to ensure the class goes well by not over crowding the kitchen and ensuring everyone can be mentored and supervised by our volunteer.

I have a ticket (woo!) what now?

We will be sending you some online training to complete, before we can allow you into the Wholefoods kitchen. Details will be emailed to you shortly after registration.

Are tickets transferable or refundable?

No. We do not allow transfers or refunds. Please ensure you are 100% available before registering.

I missed out on getting a place, can I be notified of any other cooking classes that might run in the future?

Anyone who has registered to be on the waiting list will be notified first of our future cooking classes.
