With the May Bank Holiday weekend just around the corner, it’s time to start planning your perfect Yorkshire Dales getaway. Whether you’re a local resident or visiting the area, we have a weekend packed with creativity, indulgence, and—most importantly—lots of handmade treats!

Get Creative: Chocolate Workshops All Day

We are thrilled to announce that we will be running our popular chocolate-making workshops all day on both Saturday and Bank Holiday Monday.

Our dedicated workshop space is the perfect place to get hands-on with fine Belgian chocolate. From our Chocolate Pizza making (a huge hit with children and adults alike!) to crafting truffles, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

When: Saturday and Bank Holiday Monday

What: Hands-on workshops for all ages

How to Join: We recommend booking in advance to secure your spot—call us on 01969 625288 or check our Workshops page for more details.

Relax in the Café: Handmade Cakes & Premium Barista Coffee

While the kids are busy being master chocolatiers, or if you simply need a break from exploring the Dales, our on-site café will be fully open throughout the weekend.

We pride ourselves on our selection of all handmade cakes, baked right here in our kitchen. From classic traybakes to our famous specialty cheesecakes served in edible chocolate bowls, you won't find treats like these anywhere else. Pair your slice with a premium barista coffee or one of our signature hot chocolates for the ultimate Bank Holiday indulgence.

Visit Our Factory Shop

Don't forget to browse our Factory Shop before you leave. You can watch our skilled chocolatiers at work through the viewing windows and pick up some of our artisan truffles, chunky chocolate inclusion boxes, or even a chocolate sheep to take home as a souvenir.

We can’t wait to celebrate the long weekend with you!

Happy Bank Holiday from all of us at Inspired Chocolate!
