PICK AND MIX YOUR MASTERCLASS EXPERIENCE
Single session tickets now available for the Wellington Fisher and Paykel MasterClass.
Single Session tickets for one of the most prestigious events in the national culinary calendar, the Wellington Fisher and Paykel MasterClass, go on sale from today. The MasterClass takes place on 19 August at the Michael Fowler Centre. Single session tickets give keen foodies the ability to tailor a “mini-masterclass” experience of up to two sessions and gives fans of the individual chefs participating to chance pop away from work for just one session with their idols.
The event is part of the Visa Wellington On a Plate Festival and it features some of the best chefs in the Southern Hemisphere working with the very best products and produce the region has to offer. Concurrent sessions run over an entire day on everything from modern French cooking with the highly celebrated Kiwi expat chef Justin North to cooking with Wellington’s own Al Brown.
“We had received so many inquiries from foodies who weren’t able to attend the whole day but really wanted to take part for a single session or half a day we decided to release a limited number of tickets to individual sessions so people wouldn’t miss out” said Kate Jamieson, Festival Co-Director.
The tickets are available for purchase for $50.00 per session (booking fee applies) from TICKETEK and are likely to appeal to those who aren’t able to come for the whole day but still want to participate in the event.
More information about the Wellington Fisher and Paykel MasterClass and individual sessions can be found at the festival website www.VisaWellingtonOnaPlate.com and printed MasterClass Programme Planners are available at quality food retailers around the Wellington region.
