Sunday on the Bandstand!

We'd like to a say a big thank you to the lovely people of Keynsham for welcoming us so warmly to their bandstand yesterday!

Anna and I had a lovely time chatting chocolate in the former home of Fry's where everyone seems to have a interesting chocolate tale to tell. We learnt how chocolate tastes different in Ireland, that it's medically advisable to eat Thornton's and that some people who shall remain anonymous cheat on their Easter egg hunts....never fear; your secret's safe with us.

And since it was so sunny, we even took a few snaps!

As part of our chocolate story journey this week finds us at the Keynsham Bandstand where we'll be talking all things chocolate - and what a place to do so! With Keynsham's remarkable chocolate history we can't wait to find out more.

Join us this sunny Sunday for a delve into the tempting selection box of chocolate stories; from the Aztec Emperor Montezuma to the creation of the world's first ever chocolate bar by Fry's in Bristol in 1847, chocolate has been on a remarkable journey changing our tastes, our waistlines and the face of global trade forever.

So come along and share your favourite memories, recipes and thoughts or discover some of the fantastic tales we've gathered whilst developing our own chocolate story; The Chocolate Plant. We hope to see you there!
