York Cocoa Works
A Celebration of Chocolate in the Heart of York
In a city once shaped by the aroma of cocoa drifting from iconic confectionery factories, York Cocoa Works continues a long-standing tradition of chocolate craft rooted in the very streets where Rowntree and Terry built their legacies. Nestled in the historic centre of York, this working manufactory invites visitors into a rich, sensory world of chocolate, offering hands-on activities and workshops that draw from both heritage and innovation.
From crafting chocolate lollipops and bars to delving into bean-to-bar processes in weekend masterclasses, the programme caters to a wide range of interests. With a focus on ethical sourcing and sustainability, York Cocoa Works champions a transparent chocolate-making process, bringing cocoa to life with integrity and care, just steps away from the birthplace of some of Britain’s most beloved chocolate traditions.
