Calling all Chocoholics in the Cheshire/Manchester Area!
On Tuesday 19th September I am holding a Chocolate Appreciation Evening in order to raise money for Forgotten Children International. This is one of the world’s largest charities working to help blind, deaf and disabled children in developing countries
The Chocolate Appreciation Experience is a unique event. It is entertaining, informative and fun; a great “night out”. An event like this cannot be complete without eating large quantities of chocolate. This includes generous sampling of fine top-grade chocolate that varies from a combination of organic sources, high cocoa solid content, estate select chocolate, and some interesting surprises! This is a memorable occasion and is always very well received. It is ideal for any chocolate lover. A unique, original, memorable, fun, educational and captivating experience…it’s just damm good!!

Irreverent potted history of cocoa and chocolate
