Fairly pricey i thought however chocolate tastes amazing and was quite fun making your own, Sam who led ours made it really interesting and fun, possibly more aimed at older kids but we still had good time as adults.

The kids really enjoyed it, and I liked how the teacher interacted with everyone. I learnt a lot and have really enjoyed the chocolate we made although I've not managed to eat it all yet…

Began with an informative talk on the chocolate making process, including an opportunity to taste plain and milk chocolate before making own bar to take home. Group size quite small so not waiting around for a long time. Had a choice of chocolate type, toppings and moulds. Found using a hair drier was a surprisingly quick and efficient method to melt the chocolate. Could collect finished chocolate bar after a 30 min wait. Very well organised and an enjoyable experience,

Went on this experience with my wife and two children (6 and 3) and we all had a great time. We enjoyed the introduction explaining the chocolate making process as well as the tasting samples, my 6 year old thinks he's an expert now! Then there was a great variety of flavourings and ingredients to add to our own chocolate once we got stuck. All four bars made were delicious and didn't last long once we got them back!

What a fantastic chocolate making workshop! The host was absolutely excellent … warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly engaging throughout. We loved the perfect balance between interesting chocolate-making theory and hands-on creation, with fascinating facts shared along the way. It was fun, informative, and delicious from start to finish. We would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone who loves chocolate or wants to try something new!
