Throughout the autumn half-term, we will be running our chocolate bar-making workshops with a spooky twist!
Join us in the Academy at the York Cocoa Works to design and make your very own Halloween chocolate bar full of tricks or treats - the choice is yours!
York is home to the world's most famous chocolate bars and brands, and there is a lot of love here in the chocolate city for all things cocoa. Join us in our academy and learn how to create your very own chocolate bar. You will discover our cocoa origins, we will show you how to work with tempered chocolate, and you will experiment with different flavours to perfect your masterpiece! Once the bars have set, you will be able to enjoy your beautifully wrapped creations at home.
During this workshop you will:
  • Discover where cocoa comes from and its origins
  • Learn how we manufacture our chocolate here on site

  • Flavour and decorate your chocolate bar

My children are 13, do I need a ticket to take part?
The answer is up to you, we ask that you do not leave the premises while young children are in a workshop, but you are welcome to take a seat in our chocolate cafe and enjoy a hot chocolate while they are hard at work if you are confident that they are able to enjoy the workshop on their own without your assistance. For supervising parents, we are unable to accommodate more than one parent per child.
Can we add other things onto our workshop?
Our program at York Cocoa Works is designed so that you can curate your own chocolate adventure with us, by booking a chocolate manufactory tasting tour or cafe items separately you can be in charge of creating a chocolate experience to suit you. Please do get in touch if you need some assistance.
