Curious Cocoa is a hands-on chocolate workshop experience based in Rochester, Kent, where children become mini chocolatiers for the session. Led by Beth Frost, a trained chocolatier with a family history in confectionery and tuition under award-winning pastry chef Mark Tilling, every workshop is run by a genuine expert rather than a party entertainer.
Children don't watch demonstrations - they get fully involved from start to finish. Each child creates their own hand-painted chocolate lollipops, a personalised chocolate slab and a bag of rolled truffles, all beautifully packaged to take home. Sessions are kept small, with a maximum of 12 participants, so every child receives individual attention and guidance throughout.
The venue holds a 5-star food hygiene rating, is fully insured and DBS checked, giving parents complete confidence when booking for children's parties, school holiday workshops or special occasions.

Trusted by 10,000,000 FamiliesA Chocolate Workshop Bronze ticket gives your child a fully guided, hands-on chocolate making session led by a trained professional chocolatier at Curious Cocoa's kitchen workshop in Rochester.
Every child creates a selection of handmade chocolate treats during the session using professional equipment and techniques. All materials, equipment and edible decorations are provided. Everything made during the workshop is beautifully packaged for children to take home at the end of the session.
Curious Cocoa workshops are built around the idea that children learn best when they're genuinely doing something, not watching someone else do it. From the moment they arrive, children are at the workbench creating, decorating and experimenting with real chocolate making techniques under the guidance of a professional chocolatier.
One of the most popular elements of every workshop, the hand-painted lollipops give children the chance to use edible paint to decorate their own chocolate creations. The combination of art, design and chocolate making is a natural hit with children who enjoy crafts and creative activities, and the results are always colourful, individual and genuinely impressive.
Each child creates their own chocolate slab, choosing from a range of toppings and decorations to make it completely their own. No two slabs ever look the same, which makes the experience feel personal and special. Children love the freedom to experiment with different combinations, and the finished slabs are a highlight of the take-home box.
Children also learn how to roll and finish their own chocolate truffles, one of the most satisfying hands-on elements of the workshop. The technique is simple enough for younger children to master but produces results that feel genuinely professional, and children are always delighted by how their truffles turn out.
As well as birthday parties and private bookings, Curious Cocoa runs workshops for schools, youth groups and families throughout the year. Themed workshops are available during seasonal periods including Easter and Christmas, adding an extra layer of excitement for children visiting during school holidays.
