Our super sourdough courses usually run on the last Sunday of each month.

Customer Reviews
“This was my second baking day at Oxfords Bakery in Alweston … both have been immense fun. Not only do you learn to make lovely food but also get an insight into the life of the bakery, the people who work there and the goodness that goes into every yummy thing that ends up in one of the shops and cafes.” Sue, Sourdough Course
“It was unusually rewarding to have a complex subject carefully explained in an engaging and jovial manner that set out the conditions for easy learning. I am looking forward to another course in the future.” Ian, Sourdough Course
“I just wanted to say a massive thank you to the Oxfords bakery for the lamination course yesterday. It was absolutely fantastic, and Mum and I had an incredible day and learnt a lot!” Georgie, Lamination Course
“Saturday’s course was brilliant, I was very proud of my finished products! Due in no small part to Steve’s excellent teaching skills. Loved hearing about the history of the bakery and the science behind baking bread – I know where I’ve been going wrong now.” Lisa, Traditional English
