Had a brilliant time doing a chocolate workshop with our little one, there was lots of delicious white and milk chocolate to try, on top of getting to make and take home 3 x items. It was a really fun experience and worth the money.As an added bonus, there is an absolutely superb soft play area and cafe, you could literally spend a couple of hours here easily, again adding value to the money spent on the workshop. There’s also a huge outdoor play area/frame, unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to try this out due to the weather but it looked fantastic. Very appealing place for families, would recommend.Well worth a visit!

Brilliant for all ages, my 6 year old and my partners 11 year old loved it. Also £6 for soft play which is cheaper than most places around. This included outside but it was shut due to weather. Will be coming back again soon.

Excellent place for the kids. Great outdoor play area. Food is good. Friendly staff & the lady in the Chocolate workshop was brilliant ( according to my 8 year old daughter)

Didn't do any if the workshops so can't comment on that, but for £9 you get access to the soft play and outdoor play. You can't see much of the soft play from the seating area, but my little one seemed to love it. The outdoor play is cool too (pirate and castle themed). It does look slightly dated though, and could maybe do with a refresh. The scones, coffee, and got chocolate were great!

I've been visiting here for a few years and unfortunately it's starting to go down hill.The outdoor play area is great but is looking a bit run down nowadays, various apparatus had been removed and old broken dinosaur displays sit around looking a bit unloved.The indoor play area is a little dangerous and you can't see where your kids are. Also on warmer days it's stifling inside...The food choice is good but prices have begun to get a bit silly, £2 for a can of coke, £14 for some meals. The service isn't great either as most of the staff seem to still be in school.We haven't tried the chocolate workshops as the general consensus is that you just melt some chocolate and stick a few sweets on.We have tried a variety of their chocolates but wasn't impressed with the taste.Sadly I think we will start to look for other family venues in the future.

Booked the chocolate factory for 2 adults and our 3 year old. We loved this part- we got to eat lots of melted chocolate and make a chocolate shape of our choice, a chocolate bar and a marshmallow creation this lasts about 45- 50 mins. This part I would give 5 stars.Afterwards the soft play inside was quite big this is included in your price - to a toddler it does look amazing - unfortunately to an adult - at the top there a few very dark tunnels lots of kids crying being scared of the dark, bolts were showing and mats were slipping about.The outside park this was brilliant very large pirate ship bridges, slides and a zip slide. Benches to sit around the park too. There is also a little bit where you can do some gold panning - no bad points here just that they're alot of part of the outside half finished - chairs blocking a part that was leading to a very dangerous unfinished site....chairs that kids could have got past - don't feel like this was cordoned off properly for a work site. So I would advise not letting your kids run ahead if your going out the back doors to play area.The very expensive cafe £8 for a cheese panini that really wasn't up to much. They got my husbands order wrong due to the girl behind the till before finishing my order turned to her collegeue and started to talk about how nice her hair was...... although they did apologise and were quick to correct it and offer a free coffee - I just felt that it's a bit on the pricey side for the food. Advice would be take a picnic!As much as I've put some negative here it is a great place to visit and loved the chooclate making part and we came away smiling and my 3 year old didn't want to leave.I would visit again.

I ordered from the online shop for mine and my partners first anniversary. It arrived fairly fast. They even included a chocolate bar saying happy 1st anniversary which my partner loved so much. The chocolate is amazing quality for the price. It tastes delicious too! Will definitely be ordering from here again.Thank you so much!

Loved the experience. We did a family chocolate session and the people running it were superb. It is expensive but you get a lot for your money. The softplay is insane and the outdoor area is good weather permitting.Would definitely recommend

Great place to go for kids and adults.We've visited twice now for the chocolate making activity and it's good fun and is value for money.I love the customer service too. I received an email reminder the day before my booked event took place, and I also received an email afterwards to thank me for visiting.If my family is back in the area again, I'm sure we will return ?
