Now we've washed the mud off...

Well that was our first ever Larmer Tree Festival and what a stonker it was!

Thank you so much to everyone who came, munched, mused and shared Chocolate Stories with us last Friday and Saturday. It was a real pleasure to spend an hour away from the mud discussing our historical love affair with chocolate with some very game Larmer Tree festival goers!

We'll update with pictures soon and for those of you who took part in Chocolate Stories we'd love to hear your feedback so please do drop us a line.

We were lucky enough to hear some brilliant new chocolate stories to add to our ever growing repertoire; my personal favourites include finding out I'm not the only person to become homicidal with rage when people put the empty After Eight wrappers back in the box and learning that rodents of many species like chocolate - honestly chocolate really is the gift that keeps giving.

Bye for now!

Larmer Tree

The sun is (briefly) shining and Anna and I are happily packing up our Chocolate Plant and heading to the fabulous Larmer Tree Festival. 


In a new bespoke performance we'll be setting up our very own production line in the heart of the countryside and delving into some of the tastiest chocolate stories we've collected on our travels.


We'll be in the Theatre and Film tent:


Friday 13th July: 11 am - 11.45 am
&
Saturday 14th July: 3.30 pm - 4.15 pm


So if you're Larmer-ing this weekend then please do come along and join The Plant!

 Chocolate Stories presented by Harvest Films

Join us on the production line at this unique storytelling event led by professional heritage theatre artists Anna Farthing and Bea Roberts. You’ll be packing chocolates by hand, talking, tasting, sharing and sampling from the tempting selection box of Chocolate Stories past and present, personal and public, historic and hidden. Where did it come from and how has it shaped our tastes, our waistlines and the face of global trade?
