Grab a chance to be a real-life Charlie Bucket with a tour around the London factory of New York chocolate makers Mast Brothers. No golden ticket is required, just a £10 one available on site at the Redchurch Street centre; tours (including tastings) run daily and children aged between 10 and the lower limit of five go free.
Rick and Michael Mast hail from Iowa, but their innovative artisanal chocolate made at the Brooklyn headquarters has established them as leading indie chocolatiers in New York. Example flavours from the 20-strong range, beautifully wrapped in patterned Italian paper, include almond and sea salt and salt and pepper.
