Our address is Whitehill Farm, Walton, Brampton, Cumbria, CA8 2AZ. Directions will be given upon booking a class. Sometimes classes will take place at another central location. Details will be in the class listing.

How do I book?

All payments are required at the time of booking.
Payment can be made via cash, credit and debit card or we can make arrangements for payment via Gift Card.
Please complete the booking form selecting the class of your choice; you’ll then receive a confirmation email and a link to the secure payment. We can arrange for you to pay in person if you prefer, but all payments will be required at the time of booking.
We also accept bank transfers; please get in touch for details. Please do NOT email us your card details, we will never ask you for this information. You should carefully check the transaction amount as we will not be held responsible for any bank charges you may incur as a result of the payment.
You are advised to wait for a written confirmation email from Mama Cakes Cumbria to state that you have been successfully booked onto the class prior to making any travel arrangements; this will be sent to you within 48 hours of receiving your payment.
Your place on the class will not be confirmed without this email. If the class is sold out by the time we receive your payment, we will endeavour to offer you an alternative date; if this new date is not convenient then a refund will be offered.
From time to time it may be necessary to amend these terms and conditions without prior notice and will be at our sole discretion.

Can I cancel my booking?

Unfortunately, no refunds will be given for cancellations once your payment has been made, even if the confirmation email has not yet been sent out.
Please be sure of your purchase before buying and, if unsure, then contact us in the first instance by email or phone prior to booking.
We take class bookings months in advance and any late cancellations mean that a place may have been denied to another student.
As we are unable to offer refunds, it is advisable to take out insurance to cover any unforeseen events that may prevent you from attending your class at Mama Cakes Cumbria.

What if Mama Cakes cancels a class?

If you have paid for a class and in the unlikely event we need to cancel (weather, sickness, unforeseen events) then Mama Cakes Cumbria will offer an alternative date for the cancelled class.
If this is not suitable then a full refund will be given. We strongly recommend taking out appropriate insurance to cover any losses such as the cost of accommodation and travel.
Mama Cakes Cumbria takes no responsibility for losses incurred by clients should a class be cancelled for any reason; only the cost of the class will be refunded. This is especially important in the winter months when road conditions are at their worst.
By making your payment, you are accepting our terms and conditions and understand that you cannot claim for any other losses incurred, other than the cost of the class.

Can I book a class for someone else?

Yes, we accept bookings on behalf of someone else.
Please advise us that this is a gift purchase at the time of booking.
Also, please let us know the full name of the attendee otherwise entry to the class may be denied if we don’t recognise their name from the attendee list.

What is the minimum age of an attendee?

For health and safety reasons we do not allow children under 16 to attend a class without an accompanying adult who must also purchase a place in the class.

What is included?

All ingredients, equipment and a light lunch for the day are provided for all classes.
Please make us aware of any dietary requirements or allergies when booking.

What do I need to bring?

We recommend that our students bring their own notepad and pen.

Late arrivals

Please plan your journey in advance to allow for traffic conditions. We have arranged class start times to try and avoid travel congestion. However, we do understand that delays do happen sometimes.
Unfortunately, we will not admit anyone to a class who is more than one hour late, as it is unlikely that you will catch up in time and will potentially disadvantage the other students.
In such circumstances, we will not offer an alternative date and your booking will be lost and no money will be refunded.
Please let us know if you are running late and are able to do so (safely) by calling us on 078502 87186.
