Swap the usual night out for something you can create

Gillespies cake decorating classes are a hands-on alternative to the usual meal, drinks or cinema. They are relaxed, beginner friendly and hosted at venues around the wider Newcastle and North East area.

We do not pretend every class is in Newcastle city centre. The exact venue and town are always shown clearly, so you can choose the date and location that works for you.
