Regular workshops are held around the UK for members and guests on matters of relevance to the food industry. For example, future workshops are to include a private tour of the Imperial War Museum's Ministry of Food exhibition and an exploration of honey. Past topics have covered less familiar cuisines and ingredients, professional techniques and preparing book proposals.

CookIt! is the Guild’s annual cooking competition aimed at encouraging children’s interest in food. The Guild actively supports and believes in educating children about food and believes that CookIt! offers an excellent opportunity to do this. The standard of entries is high and the competition attracts a large number of entrants each year. The 2010 finals were held in the BBC Good Food kitchens, and were covered by the magazine. CookIt! is open to children aged 10-14 years of age. CookIt! is launched towards the end of each year and the finals are held annually in May or June.
