Perfect for celebrations, community groups, corporate events, educational workshops and anyone who simply loves chocolate.

Chocolate Demonstration

Ever wondered why chocolatiers temper chocolate or what actually happens when chocolate is worked on a marble slab?

Our Chocolate Demonstration gives you a fascinating introduction to the craft of chocolate making.

Watch traditional chocolate tempering on a marble slab, learn about the different methods used to temper chocolate and discover why temperature and crystallisation are so important in creating beautifully finished chocolate.

During the demonstration you can:

• Watch chocolate being tempered by hand on marble
• Learn about different chocolate tempering methods

• Have a go at working with the chocolate yourself

A relaxed, interactive way to discover what goes into creating handcrafted chocolate.

Practical Demonstration

Ready to get a little more involved?

Our Practical Chocolate Demonstration includes the chocolate knowledge and tempering demonstration, but this time you'll also get hands-on with the chocolate yourself.

You'll have the opportunity to try traditional tempering on the marble before using chocolate, decorations and professional techniques to create your own chocolate piece to take home.

It's a brilliant introduction to chocolate making for groups who want more than a demonstration without committing to the full tempering experience.

Chocolate Party Experience

Looking for something a little different for your celebration?

Our Chocolate Party Experience brings together chocolate making, creativity and plenty of indulgence for an experience your group can enjoy together.

We'll introduce you to the world of chocolate and demonstrate traditional tempering before it's your turn to get involved.

You'll create and decorate your own Belgian chocolate bar, with plenty of opportunity to make it completely your own.

Themes, colours and decorations can be tailored to your occasion, whether you're celebrating a birthday, hen party, family gathering or simply getting everyone together for something fun.

And when the chocolate making is finished?

It's time for our chocolate fountain dessert buffet, filled with a selection of delicious homemade treats and dippers to enjoy together.

Perfect for:

• Birthday celebrations
• Hen parties
• Family gatherings
• Friendship groups
• Special occasions
• Group celebrations

Planning a children's birthday? Take a look at our dedicated Kids Chocolate Parties for an experience created especially for younger chocolate lovers.

 

Full Chocolate Tempering Experience

If you really want to get hands-on with chocolate, this is the one.

Our Full Chocolate Tempering Experience takes you beyond simply decorating chocolate and gives you the opportunity to experience the tempering process for yourself.

Working with your own chocolate, tools and marble slab, you'll be guided through the process from start to finish.

You'll discover how chocolate changes as it is heated, cooled and worked, what we're looking for when tempering and how professional chocolatiers achieve that characteristic shine and snap.

During the experience you'll:

• Learn the principles behind chocolate tempering
• Work with your own chocolate and equipment
• Temper chocolate yourself on a marble slab
• Learn how to recognise properly tempered chocolate
• Create and decorate your own chocolate bar
• Use professional chocolate-making techniques
• Take your chocolate creations home with you

Once the hard work is finished, we'll round off the experience with our chocolate fountain dessert buffet.

It's chocolate from beginning to end — exactly as it should be.

Experiences Tailored to Your Group

No two groups are quite the same, so our chocolate experiences don't need to be either.

We can tailor the experience to suit your occasion, group and level of chocolate making, whether you're looking for something relaxed and entertaining or you'd really like to get stuck into the techniques behind working with chocolate.

Our experiences are suitable for:

• Private celebrations
• Corporate events and team activities
• Community groups
• Schools and educational groups
• SEN groups
• Clubs and organisations
• Adult groups
• Family experiences

If you have something particular in mind, just tell us what you're planning and we'll help you choose the most suitable experience.

What Our Guests Say

Tracy Lewis

Chocolate Workshop Guest

★★★★★

“The workshop began with a demonstration and then hands-on tempering session, going through why we do this. Jane made what initially seemed like a daunting process feel approachable and was actually very therapeutic.  
Throughout the session, Jane’s knowledge, patience and love for chocolate really shone through. The pace was perfect, the environment was relaxed and encouraging, and I left with new skills, lovely treats, and a deeper appreciation for chocolate-making.”
