Bean to bar workshops
Chocolate making workshops
Let us take you on a Fair Trade journey all the way from the farmers in New Koforidua in Ghana who grow our cocoa beans to your very own chocolate bar to take home.
Over the course of the workshop you will make chocolate from fairly traded ingredients and learn about Fair Trade and the Fair Trade Towns Movement.
You will not only discover how chocolate is made from scratch but you’ll also learn about its origins, history and the very real impact Fair Trade has on the cocoa growing communities.
The workshops are suitable for children and adults and can make for a great family activity.
Any children must be accompanied by a paying adult
