Plenty of seasonal food and drink will be served up too and attendees can enjoy talks and live demonstrations in the Chocolate Theatre and tastings in the Tasting Room.

Organiser of ChocFest, Matthew O’Callaghan, said: “This should be a great day out for anyone that loves chocolate.

"We’ve added more chocolatiers and a good few other stands to provide visitors with a great day out in a rural market town.

"It’s all undercover and if it gets cold then there’s hot chocolate and lashings of mulled cider and wine for inner warmth as well as spirits.

"And don’t forget, kids aged 16 and under get in free of charge."

As you move around the site sampling and buying chocolate products there will also be a chance to take a break to listen to live music from an award-winning gospel choir.

There will also be a variety of street food stands available selling hot food and drinks.
