Recently I was invited to a press launch of
The Chocolate Festival, where I was treated to some talks and tastings to promoted the event which started in Oxford last weekend. Next stop is London when the South Bank plays host to three days of chocolate pleasure. From the 8 – 10 April, the area around The Royal Festival Hall will be lined with stalls filled with some of the finest chocolate and chocolate related products to try and buy.
For true devotees of this glorious substance there will also be live demonstrations and tutored tastings from some of the best Chocolatiers; from William Curley and Bill McCarrick to Damian Allsop and Paul Wayne Gregory.
This a very appropriate time of year for the festival as Easter is only a couple of weeks away, when most people are thinking about chocolate.
The Chocolate Festival is the place to visit if you're looking for that special gift or are even thinking of treating yourself.
