The Sweet History of York

Spring 2012
King's Square York

NEW ATTRACTION FOR 2012!
An exciting new tourist attraction could be heading to the city of York. A brand new £2 million chocolate themed attraction will help celebrate the city’s chocolate manufacturing heritage.

When the doors open in spring 2012, visitors will be immersed in confectionery and chocolate's past - from the Mayans and Aztecs who fought over the food they saw as a gift from the gods through the conquistadors, to York's Merchant Adventurers who built York as a trading city on top of its Roman then Viking roots. We will challenge guests’ senses to smell, hear, taste and try different chocolate and confectionery styles, and explore the histories and evolution of many much loved brands that were created here in York. This will all be delivered through a variety of innovative interactive displays, film, historic artefacts and incredibly committed, skilled and engaging staff.
