French Cooking Class
Unfortunately, our August French Cooking Class will not take place this year due to a last-minute hiccup with securing a chef for the dates we had booked with our venue.
We will work very hard to make it happen in 2026 as this event has proven very popular in the past!
Taste of the World – August 23
The Rockhampton Taste of the World Cultural Festival will be held Saturday August 23 on Quay Street, Rockhampton CBD from 1pm to 8pm. We will again be making delicious Crêpes, freshly cooked just for you!
Le Bon Weekend at Byfield Fern’s Hideaway – October 17-19
Our much-enjoyed weekend of French adventure in a tropical rainforest paradise! In 2025, it will again be held at Fern’s Hideaway Resort in Byfield, 30mn out of Yeppoon. Last year, around 20 students and friends attended this wonderful weekend of French fun and activities. Reservations will open a few weeks before the event.
