Chocolate Studio Rievaulx Abbey 16th April 2010

Calling all chocolate lovers! Not only does Rievaulx Abbey have some wonderful grounds to walk around with stunning views plus the ruins of the Abbey to explore, the Abbey has also taken an innovative slant on a tradition that the medieval monks, who once resided there, put in place for pilgrims who used to stay at the Abbey, the pilgrims were given a token on their departure to commemorate their visit.

This Easter, Rievaulx’s old schoolroom will be transformed into a chocolate studio, with chocolatière Lindsay Robson teaching visitors young and old how to make lollies – shaped like medieval monks - from premium quality Belgian chocolate, so anybody leaving the Abbey on the 16th April will leave with a far tastier treat than those of the Pilgrims!

The cost is £5.30 for adults and £2.70 for children. Certainly worth a visit for all you history and chocolate lovers out there!

Rievaulx Abbey is only about 2.8 miles from Valley View Farm Cottages, so why not make Valley View Farm your base and then enjoy the chocolate making in the wonderful setting of Rievaulx
