This summer, chocolate lovers in Leeds are in for a treat as Oliver Dunn, known from Bake Off: The Professionals, brings his expertise to Trinity Leeds. The professional chocolatier, affectionately nicknamed Oli the Choc, is hosting a series of exclusive chocolate workshops designed for families. These hands-on sessions will not only allow participants to learn the art of chocolate-making but also take home their delicious creations.

Workshops at Trinity Leeds

The workshops will take place on several dates throughout August, specifically on the 11th, 18th, 24th, and 25th. Families are encouraged to join in and create their very own chocolate treats while learning from one of the UK's top talents in the industry. These sessions promise to be both educational and fun, making them perfect for aspiring young chocolatiers.

Oliver Dunn's workshops are a fantastic opportunity for participants to explore new techniques in a friendly and interactive environment. Each child will have the chance to produce their own chocolate delights and will leave with their creations, making for a sweet souvenir of the day.
