Visited on Saturday. There was a huge crowd waiting for the museum to open. Managed to skip the queue and scan in directly with the QR tix.

Very interesting museum with area showing people making the chocolate with skill. Need 2 hours at least if you like to read most information. We didn’t see it all due to our time constraints. Good cafe with amazing cakes and great selection of chocolate to purchase in shop. Was busy at 10.15 am on opening but once through you didn’t feel squashed in. Wished I’d put my coat in cloakroom as togged up for winter and was a bit warm. Great to be able to see the old moulds and some old machinery too. Enjoyable experience.

We really enjoyed the chocolate tour, it was very informative as to where cocoa comes from and how it is turned into the chocolate that we can eat.. It's a very labour intensive process and as usual the people who do the manual picking are paid the least amount of money. You do get a couple of chocolates samples. At the end of the tour you do have the opportunity to customise and buy your own bar of chocolate . Well worth a visit.
