End the night with cooking classes and a hearty meal
Cooking classes in Melbourne are the perfect way to bring everyone together for a hens party because there's teamwork involved and a delicious reward at the end. With thousands of cooking classes to choose from, all you have to do is decide which will suit the hens party best.
How about a seafood BBQ cooking class in Brunswick? In this three hour workshop, the party will learn how to master the art of cooking the most spectacular seafood BBQ. As you learn the techniques for marinating the seafood to perfection, you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy some nice wines to accompany a beautiful dinner together at the end of the workshop.
Fancy a crowd pleaser? Try a Thai cooking class. Enjoy a glass of wine on arrival before our local expert teaches a fun and engaging dinner class. You’ll learn how to replicate Thai cooking techniques and learn loads of tips and tricks to blend spices perfectly. At the end of the class, you’ll all be able to sit down together and enjoy the amazing meal you’ve just cooked with a large glass of vino in hand.
Or learn how to make pasta from scratch with an expert chef in Abbotsford. In this fun class, you’ll be taught how to make Italian favourites such as fresh egg pasta and potato gnocchi as well as which vegetables and herbs work so well together. Choose a lovely cold glass of white wine on arrival and enjoy learning new recipes and cooking together with your party. When the class has finished, you’ll be able to sit down together with more wine whilst you eat your dinner. Older guests can head off afterwards while the more rowdy ones can get the party started with that pub crawl!
Cooking classes aren't just fun hens party ideas in Melbourne, they're also an excellent opportunity for everyone to brush up on their cooking skills. We all get stuck in ruts with our food sometimes but cooking classes empower you to start cooking more restaurant-worthy meals at home, helping improve your health and wellness.

Looking to do something a little bit different for a hens party in Melbourne? Why not try an evening paint and sip class?

This class has received rave reviews from our community!
"A group of us 5 grls went in to kick off our girls night out. Mr Hart (the artist) was very welcoming and took the time to explain the entire process t us. We had so much creative freedom which I absolutely loved. The studio was very well lit and maintained, the music was great and we were given all the materials we would need for the session. I learned a few new tricks and the different uses for each paint brush. There were no other customers booked into that session so it was basically a private session and we each got 1:1 attention from Mr Hart. When it was time to leave, it was raining outside and so Mr Hart very kindly offered to say back and let us wait inside the studio until our ride arrived- this was close to 10pm! Thank you Mr Hart for a fabulous experience, we will definitely be back :)" - Sanah C.
