All Hallows Farmhouse

From specialist sourdough workshops to AGA-approved cooking classes, All Hallows Farmhouse brings traditional baking techniques to a Grade II listed farmhouse kitchen in the Dorset countryside near Wimborne St Giles. This AGA-approved cookery school combines bread making expertise with broader culinary skills, welcoming small groups into their atmospheric farmhouse setting.

The sourdough programme forms the cornerstone of their baking offering, with dedicated half-day classes designed specifically for absolute beginners. These intimate workshops take you through the fundamentals of creating traditional loaves using just flour, water and salt, teaching the art of slow fermentation to develop proper crust and crumb structure. The three-hour sessions cover every stage of the process, from maintaining a healthy starter to mastering storage techniques, all conducted beside the warmth of the farmhouse AGA.

Beyond the core bread making, you'll discover how to maximise your sourdough starter with alternative recipes, ensuring you leave with practical skills for continued baking at home. Each participant receives their own pot of active sourdough starter, complete electronic recipe files, and unlimited refreshments including freshly ground coffee, Dorset tea and AGA-baked treats throughout the session.

The school accommodates personal tuition for individuals or small groups of up to four friends, creating an encouraging environment for learning traditional techniques. Classes include gluten-free and vegan adaptations, with corporate sessions and gift vouchers available alongside online learning options.

The combination of historical setting, specialist AGA cooking knowledge, and focus on foundational bread skills makes this particularly suitable for beginners seeking authentic, hands-on instruction in a welcoming countryside location.
