Jennifer Earle’s 20th Anniversary Celebration of Chocolate
It means a lot to bring together these incredible businesses together to mark the 20 years that I’ve been introducing people to excellent chocolate through tours and tastings!
I never imagined when I built a website in May of 2005 and led the first practice tour with friends in September 2005 that I’d still be talking about chocolate and calling it work today!
Taste. Learn. Celebrate.
There will be ticketed tastings (register here to hear about their release, a short film, art, and tables to sit and savour delicious things both inside the main room and in the adjoining rooms at Big Penny Social.
You can also book a slot in Big Penny’s games room upstairs (darts! shuffle! karaoke! pool!) or enjoy a pizza or burger in their main hall or beer garden to get that savoury balance (no reservations required).
You’ll probably want to bring a tote bag to stock up on Christmas / Hanukkah / Diwali gifts, too.
Thank you for coming!
The celebration is open until 4.30pm.
Tickets are required for entrance between 10am and 11am but after that it’s free.
Tickets are also required for the tastings:
12:45pm - 1:30pm - introduction to chocolate and tasting with Jennifer Earle (me!)
2pm - 2.:45pm - WILD chocolate tasting with foraged ingredients by Charlotte Flowers
3:15pm - 4pm - how to make a healthy hot chocolate with Nopal founder Marcela Alatorre Shirazi
There may still be tickets here.
