As well as stalls from the best confectioners around the UK, selling all kinds of chocolate – plus alcoholic milkshakes, hot chocolates and cocktails – you’ll have the chance to get stuck in yourself by making a chocolate statue and trying arts and crafts.

There’ll also be photo booths, because we all know it’s not really an outing without photographic evidence.

The event is broken into two time slots, afternoon and evening, and your £6 tickets will gain you access to your slot of choice. We recommend going for the evening, as it’s more focused on the adults-only parts of the festival.

Once inside, you’ll be free to roam the festival like a kid in a candy store.

The festival will be touring the UK from October, visiting cities including London, Liverpool and Manchester. Some dates have already sold out, so check out the Facebook page to see a full list of dates and sign up for tickets here.

We’ll be the ones hanging our heads under the chocolate fountain – see you there!
