Following last year’s successful Chocolate Festival Ramsbottom Businesses and Bury Council have got together to make this year’s festival bigger and better.

Last year, over 10,000 attended the event and this year the festival will take place over 2 days on the 27 and 28 March in Ramsbottom Town Centre.

Plans for this years festival include, a chocolate market on Sunday 27 March, a world record attempt to see how many Ferrero Rocher can be eaten in a minute, as well as competitions all with chocolate themed prizes.

Alongside the festival, visitors to the market town of Ramsbottom can also take part in a unique Chocolate Trail, which was launched during Chocolate Week 2009. This trail allows participants to taste some of the chocolatey treats on offer throughout the year in Ramsbottom.
