Award Winning Chocolate Experience.....

Only £28 per person (3 hours +)

Come as an individual or as a group.

Read what some of our guests have said about our experience...

"It was a wonderful day and you both are wonderful hosts and so enthusiastic about your work.  I have been telling all  my friends and they all seem keen so hopefully you will get some more bookings too".

"Thank you for a wonderful afternoon yesterday. I enjoyed it all, but
particularly making the chocolates. My daughter thought it was great
when I kept getting more chocolates out of the box. She particularly
liked her name in chocolate and the fish, sheep and teddy. I thought
the blindfold bit was good..."

"Just a short note to thank you for such a wonderful time last Sunday. Barbara and I really enjoyed ourselves. The whole experience was fantastic and we will be telling all our friends about it".

This isn't any old chocolate experience. This is about sharing 3 hours with the award winning team behind Cocoadance.

The same team who have produced chocolates for Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Liberty's, Hamleys, Selfridges, De Bijenkorf, the BAFTA's.....

Tea, coffee, sparkling wine and more chocolates will be served in between the talk to refresh yourselves with.
2. You will learn where chocolate originates from and some of it's fascinating history.
3. You will partake in chocolate tasting from 100% cocoa mass, through to various dark and milk chocolates from around the world experiencing just a few of the amazing assortment of flavours chocolate has to offer.
4. The second half involves you making your own handmade chocolates in the traditional manner to take home with you. Let your imagination run wild!

All this in the most splendid surrounding of the the Peak District National Park.

The Chocolate Experience lasts for approximately three hours. The talks are very informal and we want you to enjoy your self as much as possible. Please bring a camera if you can.

As we taste and work with Milk and White chocolate, the 'Chocolate Experience' is not suitable for people who are dairy milk intolerant or vegans. There is also a lot of standing about...so this event may not be suitable for certain people. We do not work in a nut free or gluten free environment...some of the chocolates in the blind tasting may contain gluten...sorry.

Please keep an eye on our Diary of Events to see which dates will be selected for our special 'Chocolate Experiences'
