It was a happy few hours we spent wending our way through forgotten alleys and delving into the treasure trove of stories in Bristol's amazing chocolate history yesterday.
We're aware that tickets for the walks sold out in record time so if you missed out this time but would like to come on future chocolate walks please email anna@harvestfilms.co.uk and we'll add you to our mailing list.
A huge thank you to over a hundred of you who came on the walks, shared your stories, applauded Elsie and munched on a Fry's cream with us. Particular thanks to Professor Peter Fleming for telling us his rather risque Medieval legend, Hugh Evans former Cadbury manager at Somerdale and our chocolate manufacturing guru and to teacher and impromptu street performer Phil Dodd!
These walks were made possible by the generous support of our sponsors Stanfords and Guilbert's.
We were able to reveal on the day our secret treat finale; Alan White of Guilbert's opened up his chocolate factory to our eager sweet toothed walkers giving us a one of a kind behind the scenes tour, talk and sampling! We cannot thank Alan enough for his generosity and expertise - although I ate my Guilbert's truffles so quickly I'm sure I'll be back very soon to replenish my supply.
If you haven't been to Guilbert's then we cannot recommend them enough; if it's good enough for Buckingham Palace, it's good enough for us!
