Event & Ticket Policies

Membership & Liability Waiver

By participating in a class, you understand that you are joining the Pickwick & Cherry Cooking Club, a private, fraternal organization. All food is prepared by members for members in a communal, educational setting.

You acknowledge that cooking is an inherently hands-on activity that involves risks such as burns, cuts, slips, and falls. By participating, you voluntarily assume these risks and agree to hold Pickwick & Cherry, its staff, and instructors harmless in the event of any injury or accident.

Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy

Class reservations are like theatre tickets—the show must go on!

• 30+ Days Notice: Cancel without penalty.

• 14–30 Days Notice: You may switch your reservation to another available class (paying any price difference, if applicable).

• Less than 14 Days Notice: We will attempt to fill your spot; if successful, you may transfer or reschedule. Otherwise, your registration is nonrefundable.

• Substitutions: If you cannot attend, you’re encouraged to send someone in your place.

If Pickwick & Cherry cancels a class due to low enrollment, instructor illness, or other unforeseen events, you will receive a full refund or the option to reschedule.

Dress Code & Safety Guidelines

Cooking is a physical activity! Please dress for comfort and safety.

Recommended Attire:

• Comfortable, washable clothing

• Short or snug sleeves

• Flat, closed-toe shoes (flat shoes strongly recommended for women)

• Hair ties for long hair

Avoid:

• Long, flowing garments or fringe

• Glitter or sequins

• Delicate fabrics prone to staining

• High heels or platforms

Our kitchen has drains, grates, and sometimes slippery surfaces—please dress accordingly to ensure your safety and ease of movement.

Health & Safety Notice

We recognize that gathering in groups carries some health risk, including exposure to viruses. By attending, you accept this risk. We reserve the right to implement health protocols such as mask-wearing or handwashing as needed, and all participants agree to comply with these protocols for the well-being of the group.

Alcohol Policy

Guests age 21+ are welcome to bring and consume their own alcoholic beverages (BYOB) within reasonable limits. We reserve the right to:

• Designate when alcohol may be consumed during the event

• Limit or prohibit alcohol use at any time for the safety and comfort of the group

Photography & Social Media

We love to capture the fun, creativity, and joy of our classes! Photos and videos may be taken during your class and used in our social media and marketing materials. By participating, you grant permission for your image and likeness to appear in these materials unless you explicitly request otherwise prior to the start of class.

If you would prefer not to be photographed, please let your instructor or a staff member know upon arrival.
