Indulge in yummy truffles at the Chocolate Festival

London weekend getaway

Event: The Chocolate Festival
Dates: December 10th to 12th
Location: Southbank Centre Square

Those with a sweet-tooth may like to attend the outdoor Chocolate Festival this December.

Families on a London weekend getaway may like to browse the many stalls dedicated to the yummy stuff for an hour or maybe make a day of it.

As well as stalls, where visitors can sample and buy a range of goods, there will be a number of demonstrations and master classes run by expert chocolatiers being held.

Families on a London weekend getaway can therefore learn more about the sweet product and maybe even gorge on the chocolate fountain.

Tourists may also be able to find the perfect Christmas gift for a loved one as the event is held within the festive season.

One of the companies that will be showcasing their goods is Bean and Pod. This firm from Devon creates truffles sweetened naturally with dates rather than sugar and sells chocolate-coated fruits.

Chocolate is made of cocoa beans and is full of healthy anti-oxidants. When it is not crammed with sugar it can be very good for people.

After an afternoon gorging on yummy treats at the Chocolate Festival, adults can take their youngsters to the 5 star Langham hotel, when their sugar rush wears off.
