RUNNING FOR CHOCOLATE
OUR CHOCOLATE HISTORY TOUR OF BOURNVILLE
A 7km guided run through blissful Bournville, the revolutionary model village that’s retained it’s Quaker ideals for over 100 years - or has it?
We’ll retrace the footsteps of the Cadbury Family from small chocolate shop to 2nd biggest confectionery brand in the World, telling tales at each stop including legal battles over the colour purple, fights with Mars and feeding the Queen.
It’s a story of sacrifice, scandal and disrupting the status quo. You’ll leave not only with a post-run buzz and something yummy, but also the knowledge of what gin, brick dust and Gorillas have got to do with chocolate.
