Discover: Chocolate

Discover Bristol’s past connections to the chocolate industry. Find out about its evolution in the city and unwrap the stories of the people who made it. Role-play working in a Bristol chocolate factory and learn how chocolate was made.

This interactive chocolate experience is one of our tastiest school workshops yet!

Children will:

• Handle and investigate real objects from the city’s former chocolate factories and the museum’s collections
• Take part in a role-play activity about life in a Bristol chocolate factory.
• Be inspired by M Shed’s galleries to design their own chocolate bar in a resourced teacher-led activity

Suitable for: Year 3–5
Duration: 1 hour and a teacher-led gallery activity
Group size: Up to 35 pupils – you can book more than one session.

We have sessions available at 10.15-11.15am, 11.30am-12.30pm and 12.45-1.45pm. Our teacher-led trail can be completed before or after a workshop session.
