Chocolate Bar Making Workshop for Large Groups (24 - 60 Participants)

Let us welcome and entertain your party at York Cocoa Works as we share with you the secrets of chocolate making. Your group will learn how chocolate is made before crafting your own chocolate bar to your own design and taste.

York was a city famed for some of the most recognised chocolate bars of all time. Join us to create your own signature chocolate bar and craft a fabulous souvenir from York, the Chocolate City.

Our Chocolate Bar Making workshops are perfect for catering for a large group all with different tastes, as everyone gets to make their own chocolate bar to their own design.

Guests will select their own choice of white, milk or dark chocolate before learning how to temper, add their own choice of seasonal flavours and decorations and craft their own 150g chocolate bar.

Our Chocolate is all crafted in York by our team of Chocolate Makers from sustainable cocoa we source from around the world. During your visit you will be able to see our team at work and have an opportunity to taste for yourself how our chocolate is created.

Our workshops make a perfect chocolate making experience for families and teams looking for a special chocolate celebration to enjoy together.

Our facilities at York Cocoa Works can cater for a single group of up to 26 or split across 2 smaller groups totalling 38 participants. We also work with neighbouring partner venues to be able to cater for larger groups, after hours you can take over our site to enjoy a chocolate party with up to 60 participants or can cater for your group with consecutive sessions of 20 - 24 per session.  

You may prefer to combine our chocolate making activity with a concurrent chocolate tasting activity to enable us to welcome a fuller size group across our facilities.
