Ditch the Rainy Day Blues: Ultimate Sweet Half-Term Workshops at Inspired Chocolate

May half-term is just around the corner! Starting from 22 May, the schools break up, and the familiar challenge begins: keeping the kids entertained, creative, and—given the unpredictable British weather—warm and dry.

Look no further than our dedicated Chocolate Workshop Area at the Inspired Chocolate Leyburn Factory.
We are running our popular, hands-on chocolate workshops every single day of the half-term week (excluding Sundays). Whether you have little ones who want to get beautifully messy or teenagers wanting to learn genuine artisan skills, we have a station ready for you.
Here is our official menu of half-term chocolate experiences to choose from: 
We have structured our sessions so there is something for every age group and budget:
  • Lolly Making (£13 per person)
    • Best for: Younger children or a quick, sweet creative burst.
    • The Activity: Pour three custom chocolate lollipops using our professional templates and design them with a huge variety of colourful toppings.
  • 3D Pig or Sheep Assembly (£15 per person)
    • Best for: Creative kids who love a building challenge.
    • The Activity: A fun 3D chocolate craft! Use molten luxury chocolate to assemble and decorate your very own chocolate farm animal to take home.
  • Truffle Making Class (£25 per person)
    • Best for: Older children, teens, and adults looking for an authentic chocolatier experience.
    • The Activity: Fill 8 premium chocolate shells with rich ganache, seal them, enrobe them in melted chocolate, and finish with your own selection of gourmet toppings.
  • The Premium Truffle Masterclass (£35 per person)
    • Best for: True chocoholics and budding chefs.
    • The Activity: The ultimate hands-on experience. Customise your shells, choose and blend your own truffle flavours, dip them in two distinct types of luxury chocolate, and pack them into a gorgeous gift box. Plus, you'll make a custom chocolate lolly on the side!
☕ Make a Day of It at the Factory
Our workshops are housed right inside our working chocolate factory. While the kids are busy crafting their masterpieces, parents can sit back and relax in our on-site café, enjoying premium Italian coffees, freshly baked cakes, and hot paninis.
You can also browse our factory shop floor, watch our professional chocolatiers at work through the viewing windows, or take our fun family cocoa quiz! We offer free parking, full accessibility, and baby-changing facilities on-site.
