Love Chocolate 360 Workshop

If you are planning a group celebration in Brighton and looking for an activity that is both creative and delicious, the Love Chocolate 360 Workshop offered by Amandala might be exactly what you need. Amandala, who also cater extensively to Hen Parties and corporate groups, runs this workshop as a comprehensive deep dive into chocolate making and tasting. It’s designed for groups celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or just looking for a fun team-building exercise, and they explicitly welcome all ages and are family and LGBT friendly.

The workshop typically runs for 1.5 to 2 hours and is structured as a playful journey through everything chocolate. Participants start by acting as a chocolate connoisseur, engaging in blind tastings and learning about the origins of chocolate, tracing its path from bean to bar. The hands-on portion involves learning the crucial skill of tempering chocolate, designing your own giant chocolate button, and working together to make and decorate truffles. To round out the session, you also get to create either fudge or praline, and enjoy dipping marshmallows into liquid chocolate. A nice touch is that everyone gets to take home their handmade chocolate creations, beautifully packaged.

One of the most practical aspects of Amandala’s offering is their flexibility regarding location. While they are based in Brighton (BN1 1HP), the workshops are fully mobile. They can come directly to your home, a rented apartment, or a venue they help you arrange (though venue costs are separate). The Love Chocolate 360 Workshop is priced at £45 per person. To book this specific session, you need a minimum of 8 people, and they can accommodate groups up to 40. If your group exceeds 10 people, discounts are available. Since they operate all year round, securing your date requires a deposit, with the remaining balance due later. It is worth noting that while they strive to accommodate dietary requirements, such as vegan options, they request about 28 days' notice for these needs, which may incur a small extra fee. Amandala also offers other activities like 'The Laughter Gym' and 'Woodland Wellbeing', providing a range of options if you are looking to combine activities for a full day out.
