About York's Chocolate Story
While other British cities were built on steel, coal or wool, York’s history is somewhat sweeter as you’ll discover at York’s Chocolate Story. You can unwrap chocolate history and maybe even taste a little too...
Things To Do
Embark on a journey where you'll discover York’s mouth-watering 300-year history on a tour of the chocolate industry and how York's most famous chocolate-making families made chocolate history. With an interactive exploration, you can learn how magic was created with a cocoa bean all the way back to 1200BC and how it's used today in countless chocolate products and some of the world's tastiest and finest creations!
Discover the secrets of chocolate making from cocoa beans to chocolate bars, from skilled chocolatiers, before having a go yourself, as you write your names in chocolate! You can even become an expert chocolate taster as you sample some bespoke chocolate as you learn more about chocolatey heritage and unwrap the origins of much-loved and well-known delicious chocolate brands. A truly sweet adventure for the entire family to love and enjoy!
Then get hands-on as you wander further through the exhibition that tells the stories of beloved sweet makers from back in the day. As well as why delicious treats like chocolate make us feel good and how it'll transform into a sustainable future for chocolate making.
Food & Drink
If your tummy is seriously rumbling after all that exploration of chocolate's history (we don't blame you!), then head over to the cafe for some delightfully delicious goods. Sip on some luxury hot chocolate and indulge in some moreish chocolate pots. Equally decadent and scrumptious.
Gift Shop
Of course, you can't go to a chocolate attraction without bringing some home! Cement your enjoyable time at York's Chocolate Story with some sweet treats and chocolatey delights from the gift shop! Bring the taste of luxurious and rich chocolate home.
It’s an interactive chocolate experience to remember and filled with family fun!
