Melt away in Docklands
Chocolate lovers will flock to Docklands this month during the Melt Away Chocolate Festival.
Kicking off on Friday, August 7 and spanning the weekend, the inaugural event will get your tastebuds tingling, with a range of chocolate experiences on offer.
With activities taking place at the NewQuay Piazza and the Library at the Dock, the festival will stretch across the harbour, with a ferry service offering easy access to all aspects of the event.
Festival activities include chocolate tours, workshops and master classes, tastings and children’s activities.
Visit the chocolate lounge at the NewQuay Piazza and enjoy offerings from the chocolate drink bar and chocolate fountains.
Tasting bars will also offer adults the chance to enjoy a one-hour chocolate pairing session with a choice of Belgian beer, champagne, whisky or cognac.
Or why not take a workshop with some of the best chocolatiers in the business – learn how to make Mexican day of the dead chocolate skulls or discover more about the process of making dipped and moulded truffles.
The Meltaway Chocolate Festival is on in Docklands from Friday, August 7 to Sunday, August 9.
