Chocolate Workshops & Parties
Chocolate Workshops
Corporate Workshops
How can my business benefit from chocolate team events?
I am a great believer that food brings people together. My Chocolate Workshops are a fun and delicious way to build and strengthen bonds between colleagues and business associates. If you're looking for something a bit different for your corporate event, there are a variety of options that can be individually tailored to suit your requirements.
Whether your company is large or small, chocolate workshops can be the perfect team building or social activity within your own office space or I can recommend venues locally where you can include drinks, dinner or even an overnight stay to your experience.

Schools and Clubs
I just LOVE visiting schools & teaching children an insight into chocolate like they may never have seen before, which give them lasting memories.
My School Chocolate Workshops are the perfect activity for schools and clubs, including Brownies, Guides, Scouts & Cubs are enthusiastically received by children and teachers alike .
Having worked with a wide range of organisations and societies, I am able to tailor an event to suit your specific needs and requirements.
I travel to your Venue or school classroom, taking away the hassel and added expense of coach transport and additional teacher/parent support. I can fit in with your daily timetable to avoid disruption to the pupils day.
What will children learn?
Using chocolate is a great educational tool and a brilliant way to inform children about its rich history, the compelling journey from 'bean to bar' and the significance of cocoa content. These concepts will be explored using real cocoa products. Classroom specific activities such as piping chocolate Lollipops , can also be incorporated into the sessions.
The content within the sessions can be linked to the National Curriculum for KS2, KS3 and KS4 based around the following topics:
- History and origins of chocolate
- How and where cacao is grown
- The story of chocolate from Tree to bar and its production
- Fair trade principles and practices
I offer inset days consisting of mini workshops that cover the history of chocolate, the bear to bar story, chocolate tasting, as well as making some delicious chocolates to take away.
Please get in touch for more information and a quote.

How long will the demonstration last?
Approximately 1 hour. I am happy to tailor the session to work with your timings, so please just ask if you have any specific requests.

What equipment will I need to supply?
Tables, access to electrical socket, small plates. Please confirm if Kitchen facilities will be available for my use.
Past experience has shown that it is always appreciated if I have chocolates for sale at the end of the session which can include handmade chocolates, truffles and chocolate couverture that can be used in recipes. Please confirm in advance if this is something you'd be interested in.
A Chocolate Raffle is another popular option that I can provide, it is a great fundraiser. Again, please ask for details in advance if you'd like to find out more.
