The Chocolate Factory

This place is actually a disused chocolate factory which now houses a variety of artists’ studios. They have open weekends for the public twice a year and it’s worth going up there on these days even if you’re not thinking of buying. The next open weekend is actually next week, on Saturday the 5^th and Sunday 6^th July so I timed this review well, didn’t I?!
The building itself is fabulously preserved and none of the studios are empty. I can imagine it is a great place to work. I understand that they have recently enlarged the space to include more studios so there will be even more stuff to look at. I don’t have a lot of disposable income but even I have found some gorgeous things to buy here, including pottery and jewellery. The artists very kindly put out nibbles so you can stuff yourself while you’re looking at their work.
