Join us at our Chocolate Factory in South Shields this festive season for a magical evening workshop where you’ll make your very own chocolate Advent calendar. This two-hour class is open to all ages and is the perfect way to enjoy some festive creativity together.
Your evening begins with a warming Belgian hot chocolate on arrival, setting the scene for a cosy, indulgent evening. With our guidance, you’ll craft a stunning 24 day chocolate advent calendar, a Christmas Tree chocolate slab and a selection of festive chocolate discs (mendiants) ready to enjoy in the countdown to Christmas.
Everything is made from scratch using our house Belgian chocolate and the finest ingredients, with plenty of opportunity to add your own flavours and decorations. Once complete, your Advent calendar and chocolates will be beautifully packaged to take home — either to enjoy yourself or to gift to someone special.
This evening workshop is a wonderful introduction to festive chocolate making, blending expert guidance, delicious treats, and plenty of Christmas spirit into an experience you’ll never forget.
Here’s what makes this experience truly special:
Individual chocolate-making experience – unlike many other workshops, you’ll work solo on your own creations, not in pairs or groups.
Made entirely from scratch – using high-quality ingredients from start to finish.
Immersive and behind-the-scenes – explore the real art of chocolate making in a working chocolate studio.
Luxurious hot chocolate on arrival – made with an authentic Belgian recipe from Bruges.
Craft three stunning products:
A delicous Advent Calendar with 24 chocolates
A decadent chocolate christmas tree slab
Elegant French-style mendiants
Fully customisable – choose your own flavours and inclusions to suit your taste.
Beautifully packaged to gift or enjoy at home – complete with ribbons and care.
Expert guidance and relaxed atmosphere – suitable for beginners and enthusiasts alike.
Learn professional skills – chocolate tasting, tempering, and techniques.
