Roald Dahl was a spy, ace fighter-pilot, chocolate historian and medical inventor. He was also the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This story is perhaps the most popular of his irreverent, darkly comic novels written for young people and tells the story of an impoverished young boy who wins a golden ticket to tour the mysterious and magical chocolate factory of Willy Wonka. 

We invite you to step inside our very own peculiar Chocolate Factory! 

Chocolate rivers, everlasting gobstoppers, gum that tastes like a whole three course meal....there are wonders galore in store...It’s pure imagination! 

Please click here to book your tickets. Refreshments will be available on the night, with the option to pre-order via a form closer to the time.
