Sit on a Yorkie! City benches transformed into chocolate bars
Have a break. Have a sit down on a KitKat.
Or Yorkie, or Chocolate Orange… York residents were surprised to find several city centre benches had been given chocolate bar wrappers on Friday (October 19).
It was part of the National Chocolate Week celebrations by York’s Chocolate Story.
Brands such as KitKat, Yorkie, Black Magic and Terry’s Chocolate Orange adorned the seats. Members of the public could join in by taking a selfie and sharing on social media.
A city-wide tale
York’s Chocolate Story general manager Stuart Wood said:
-
We wanted to celebrate York’s unique confectionery heritage in a fun and interactive way.
This is a story that’s bigger than one location; it’s a city-wide tale. So, it made perfect sense for this to be a city-wide event.
