Bean to Bar Chocolate Workshop (Introductory Session) – Bampton Village Hall

Introductory price — be part of the very first workshop

As this is the very first Bean to Bar Chocolate Workshop, I’m offering this date at a special introductory price of £24.95 as a practice run.

You’ll enjoy the full workshop experience — learning how to temper chocolate properly and creating beautiful chocolate bars to take home — while helping shape future workshops before they launch at full price.

Date and time: Saturday 31st January 2026 - 2pm - 4pm

Location: Bampton Village Hall OX18 2JH

Join me for a relaxed, hands-on Bean to Bar Chocolate Workshop, where you’ll discover the fascinating journey of chocolate from cocoa pod to finished bar — and learn how to work with chocolate confidently at home.

We’ll begin with a short illustrated talk exploring where cocoa trees grow, how cocoa beans are harvested, and how chocolate is made. I’ll then demonstrate how to temper chocolate properly and create a beautifully finished chocolate bar, sharing tips and tricks along the way.

After that, it’s your turn.

During the hands-on workshop, each guest will:

• Temper their own bowl of chocolate

• Make three 100g chocolate bars in milk or dark chocolate

• Choose from a selection of toppings to decorate their bars

• Create candied orange batons, dipped in milk or dark chocolate

The session is carefully paced to ensure everyone has plenty of time, guidance and confidence, making it suitable for beginners and those with a little experience alike. You’ll learn a reliable tempering method you can confidently use again at home.

You’ll leave with a wonderful selection of handmade chocolate, beautifully packaged — perfect for sharing… or keeping all to yourself.

All ingredients, equipment and packaging are provided.

Please note: Due to the nature of the workshop and shared equipment, allergies cannot be catered for.

Introductory price: £24.95 per person

A truly joyful, sensory experience — full of learning, creativity and, of course, very good chocolate.
