Recently we were on the BBC Radio Coventry Breakfast Show explaining to listeners how you can make you can make your own chocolates at home. We also talked about our minimal packaging and how we try to reduce excessive cardboard waste. (Available for a limited time on iplayer)
Thank you to everyone who commented on our feature in the Nottingham Evening Post Food & Drink article. Thanks to all those on one of our chocolate courses who kindly spoke to the Post and gave their comments. And a big thank you to Lois our Cake maker/Chocolatier for all her hard work during the day of the visit even though she didn't get a mention in the article!!
To those people that asked, yes that was Somersby Chocolates mentioned on Simon Mayo's Radio 2 Drivetime Show regarding sales of chocolate during Lent!
We've done it again! We were again invited on the BBC Radio 2 Programme - The Jeremy Vine Show to talk about our amazingly successful chocolate courses. Since they started our Children's Chocolate Parties, Beginner's and Further Chocolate Skills Courses and Chocolate Cake Courses have been a huge success. We talk about amazing online voucher deals with Groupon and how they sold out in their hundreds in a matter of hours...!!!
As seen on TV!!
Somersby Chocolates were lucky enough to be chosen by Channel 4 News to highlight local issues concerning young voters in the UK. Channel 4 chose to film at our Mapperley store getting the views of customers and an interview with chocolatier/cake maker Lois Brown & Co-Owner Hughie O'Hare. Highlights of our screening can be seen on YouTube and the Channel 4 site.
