Hi,

Wowww… I have been to the cadbury world(Birmingham) but this seems to be even better…I work with chocolates too but after looking at these pictures and the video all I can say is its simply amazing to learn how one can create such lovely pieces of smooth tasting heavenly looking (all the decoration specially the new collection to be launched next year)pieces of delicacies.

I await for more :)

Wow, very interesting!

If it wasn’t for Chocablog I probably would have never tried any of their chocs, the shops look so old-fashioned to me. So good on them on keeping in contact with you!

I am so jealous! I always used to imagine visiting a chocolate factory a la Charlie and it looks just as much fun at Thorntons! I visited Ethels out in Las Vegas a year or so ago and I have to say it was not nearly as amazing as Thorntons looks…although it is about 1/1,0000th the size lol

The promise of a Centenary Box from Thorntons is exciting news. I’m fairly sure they once did something similar – probably for their 75th Anniversary, 24 years ago. I can’t remember details, but the chocolates were fabulously exotic to my eyes (and tastebuds) back then; I’d developed an addiction to their Continental Assortment, which was at the time the most sophisticated selection readily available on the High Street, but this super-sophisticated selection knocked their Continentals for six. If you have contacts now, with Thorntons, you might ask if they have any photos of that selection. The reason I think it must have been for their 75th Anniversary, or similar, is that the selection was only available from their shops for a short period of time.

Jules: It’s even more hypnotic when the occasional giant bunny goes past!

Mariangela: The music is just a GarageBand loop. It’s the kind of factory where you need to wear earplugs, so the natural soundtrack wouldn’t have been very good. :)

Helsham: Everyone has to start somewhere – I’ll email you!
