The former home of the Terry family, the geniuses who brought us the Chocolate Orange and much more besides, Goddards House and Garden on Tadcaster Road will be hosting a number of events to commemorate the week.

You can take part in blindfold taste tests, listen to bite-sized talks, try chocolate box making and take the new chocolate trail.
