Cookery demonstrations

Watch real Georgian recipes brought to life in our historic kitchen in twice-daily cookery demos!

Our team use modern day ingredients to recreate the tastes and smells of the past and give an insight into life in a busy 18 century kitchen.

Demonstrations twice daily at 11.30am and 2.30pm (mornings only during York Georgian Festival).
