Opening date set for Chocolate – York’s Sweet Story
9:31am Wednesday 22nd February 2012 in News
YORK’S new chocolate-themed visitor attraction Chocolate – York’s Sweet Story, is to open on March 31.
Michael Constantine, general manager of Chocolate – York’s Sweet Story, said: “I’m thrilled to announce that our opening date will be 31 March 2012, just in time for Easter which wouldn’t be the same without Chocolate! Building work is full steam ahead, the ‘Chocolate’ team is growing and we’re all really looking forward to launch day.”
Visitors to the attraction will be taken on a journey starting in Central America’s rainforests to discover how confectionery found a home in York, becoming one of the biggest employers in York with Rowntree’s alone employing 14,000 people at its peak.

I think you'll find, Ms Constantine, that Easter wouldn't be the same without Christ.
The reasons behind Easter and the current way that we are encouraged to celebrate Easter are two different things.
