“We will be creating the opportunity for Doncaster residents wanting to gain experience or confidence training in a wide range of areas including how to be a barista, customer care skills, using tills, food preparation, baking and cooking.

“Café Flourish will create an environment for learning that will be as near to working in business as possible to help those taking part gain the vital skills they need to then look for work,” added Steve. “Our ambition is to create a centre of excellence for vocational pathway training.”

While the tea rooms are closed, the Coffee Shed in the Walled Garden area of the site will be offering food and drinks.
