What it’s like
A hands-on chocolate-making workshop for kids aged 8 and up, running the seasonal sessions, with the all-year one starting at 10.
This is a chocolate-making workshop, not a shop you wander round. The all year round sessions are for ages 10 and up, but around Christmas and Easter they run seasonal practical sessions open to age 8 and up, so that's your window if you've got a younger chocolate fan keen to get stuck in.
It's open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 5pm, and closed Sunday and Monday, so this isn't a spontaneous Sunday plan. Booking matters here: they say they generally fill up 2-3 weeks ahead, and at Christmas or Easter it gets properly busy, so if you want a half term slot you're better off sorting it well before the holiday starts rather than the week of. You can pay on the day or book your ticket in advance, whichever suits.
Vegan dietary needs can be catered for, you just need to flag it when you book rather than turning up and hoping. If you're coming without a car, it's a ten minute walk from the train station, and the Park & Ride buses are an option too.
Given the age rules, this one suits an 8 to 10 year old best in the seasonal windows, and anyone 10 and older year round. It's a booking, not a walk-in, so the planning happens before you leave the house.
