York is home to some of the world’s most famous chocolate bars, and at the academy you’ll learn how to make your own. During the workshop you will discover our cocoa origins, be shown how to temper chocolate and experiment with different flavours as you shape your bar. Along the way you’ll use your choice of chocolate and ingredients to create a personalised product.
As the chocolate sets, you will package your creations to take home and enjoy. The experience is suitable for chocolate lovers of all ages and abilities. We recommend that children under 13 are accompanied by a full‑paying adult participant.
The workshop can accommodate special dietary requirements, but please contact the team if you have specific needs.
