The day time experience's are held at my beautiful cosy home in Kilcolgan. I also run some of the experiences at my cafe, Kate's Place, in Oranmore, Orantown centre. In my home, guests enjoy the homely feel of my Irish kitchen. In every experience we always discuss the difference between baking bread long ago, compared to nowadays. I also encourage the use of my fruits and herbs from my garden, where if possible, we avail of seasonal delights.

Exceeded my expectations!
Exceeded my expectations! I fell In love with Irish scones and brown bread last year in Ireland. We are back visiting Ireland again and this class was my number one activity on my bucket list. My homemade scones have been like hockey pucks. We learned the art of fluffy scones ! And the brown bread was dense, flavorful, - delicious!! Enjoyed our time with the other guests. And Kate is an inspiration and delight. Like having a wonderful afternoon having tea and baking with a good friend.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this review! We are so glad you enjoyed the class and the baked goods!

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Traditional Irish Homemade Baking Scones and Bread: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Galway.
How much does Traditional Irish Homemade Baking Scones and Bread cost?
+
Prices start at $86 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Galway usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Traditional Irish Homemade Baking Scones and Bread take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Galway is not rushed.
Is Traditional Irish Homemade Baking Scones and Bread worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 245 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Galway, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Traditional Irish Homemade Baking Scones and Bread?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Traditional Irish Homemade Baking Scones and Bread suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Traditional Irish Homemade Baking Scones and Bread?
+
Around 86 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Galway can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Galway and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Traditional Irish Homemade Baking Scones and Bread start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Galway within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Galway?
+
On Outty we rank every Galway experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Tour from Galway, Galway to Aran Islands Inisheer, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher Day Tour, Galway to Cliffs of Moher, Aillwee Cave & Dunguaire Castle Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Galway?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Galway?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Traditional Irish Homemade Baking Scones and Bread?
+
Included: All ingredients and utensils are included; and Printed recipe and pen to take notes if necessary. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Traditional Irish Homemade Baking Scones and Bread?
+

+
