Christmas workshops aim to leave Leeds chocoholics licking their lips

The Christmas Cocktail & Chocolate Evening will be held on Saturday, December 7, at 6pm, where guests can enjoy a choice of aromatic, cocoa mulled wine or prosecco, before delving into an evening full of chocolate treats.

A ‘Velvetiser’ station will also give you the chance to make your own luxury hot chocolate, using festive, limited edition gingerbread or salted caramel and clementine flavours.

The evening will conclude with a small goody bag with additional chocolate treats to take home, as well as an opportunity to do some relaxed Christmas shopping away from the hustle of busy shoppers and assisted by their team of chocolate experts, along with exclusive discounts.

Meanwhile, families can also enjoy some festive chocolate-based fun with a one-off family workshop on Saturday, December 14.

Guests can decorate their own chocolate bars and chocolate lollipops, creating personalised gifts and designing special Christmas packaging to take them home in.

The workshop, led by Santa’s Christmas elves, will also give you the chance to try some of Hotel Chocolat’s festive-themed chocolates and relax with your very own ‘Velvetised’ hot chocolate.

Young guests will also get to meet Santa, who will hand over an early Christmas present to take home to put under the Christmas tree.

Tickets for the family workshop cost £20 per child and £10 per adult. Spaces are limited, with time slots starting from 12pm. Tickets for the Christmas cocktail workshop cost £25.
