About this experience

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.

Literally a woman’s house outside Galway. Takes 40+ minutes in traffic coming from the city. Living on scones and brown bread for days after.

We were treated to a very lovely time making scones and brown bread. The host Kate was very knowledgeable and hospitable. It was an enjoyable experience.

Wonderful class, wonderful host

This was wonderful. Kate was very hands-on, showing how to properly work the dough. I would recommend this experience to everyone. And we got to bring our scones and bread gone with us!

Baking w/Kate❤️

Kate was just lovely❤️From the minute she greeted us (Randy and Darla) at the purple door and invited us in her home to the very end when she gave us our baked goods to go—it was a fun, “cheeky” afternoon where we met three other people for a shared baking experience. We made any scone of our choice—-(cinnamon and nuts for me and blueberry for Randy) and made Irish soda breads—one being snelt bread. Kate was skilled in her technique and quick with her humor and wit. We also left with the recipes and made new friends. We highly recommend the experience!! Thanks again Kate🙏❤️

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this kind review! We are so happy you enjoyed this class. We were so delighted to have you and Randy in our home.

A wonderful afternoon cooking with Chef Kate!

The cooking session is in Kate's beautiful home and was a fabulous experience! Her chef experience and knowledge is quite impressive which made it more than just cooking off a recipe. After our baking, we sat at her table overlooking her beautiful garden. She has specialty jams available as well and we went home with a recipe pamplet as well as our scones and bread.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much Natalie for your review. We are so glad you enjoyed the class!

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 $55 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 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 241 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?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Traditional Irish Homemade Baking Scones and Bread?

+

Around 84 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, 12:00 Cliffs of Moher 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.
