The Chocolate Festival

Willy Wonka eat your heart out: for three days only – and just in time for Easter – the Business Design Centre becomes a one-stop shop for all your sugary needs. There'll be free samples, of course, and more than 60 chocolatiers in attendance (including Paul Wayne Gregory, Demarquette Fine Chocolates and Damian Allsop, and companies such as Artisan de Chocolat and Rococo Chocolates). More unusual attractions include the Cocoa Spa, run by LUSH cosmetics, chocolate art displays, chocolate-making workshops and a display of handmade Easter eggs. Tickets also allow access to The Cheese and Wine Festival, which runs simultaneously at the same venue.
