Hi @FirstName,

Thankyou for your booking!

There is no need to print out a ticket, your name will be on the attendance sheet.

The workshop will finish between 4pm and 5pm. The cheddar process requires a little longer than our other cheese making workshops. Please take the time to read the information below.

Please meet your presenter in the Community Kitchen promptly at 10am. The Community Kitchen (see map Here) is located at the base of The Merri cafe. You can access it from the car park via the down ramp or follow the verandah around The Merri and take the steps down. If you are having trouble locating it, our reception staff member in the Visitor Centre can direct you.

Parking is available via the gates on the corner of Roberts and Stewart Streets. If the CERES car park is full, further parking is available at the Cretan Bros Carpark on Stewart Street just before the intersection of Nicholson Street, please note this is ticketed parking for a small fee of $6. Please be mindful of parking restrictions in nearby streets. Directions for those arriving by public transport or bicycle please see here.
