A private chocolate workshop in Maidstone with N2 Sweet Lab

If you think you know chocolate, a workshop at N2 Sweet Lab might just change your mind. The Maidstone bean-to-bar chocolatiers on King Street run three different private workshop experiences - all designed to show guests what craft chocolate really is and where the supermarket version falls short.

The Chocolate Truffle Workshop is the most popular option. Guests make their own truffles with personalised ganache combinations, decorate chocolate popsicles, and taste at least ten single-origin varieties from across the world - Peru, Brazil, Madagascar, Colombia, and more - each with distinct flavour notes shaped by climate, terrain, and how the beans were treated. Everyone goes home with around fifteen handcrafted truffles and three chocolate popsicles. It runs for about an hour and is priced at £50 per person.

For younger visitors, the Children's Chocolate Workshop covers similar ground in a more playful format: filling truffle shells, decorating lollipops, and packaging creations to take home. That's £20 per child, roughly fifty minutes. And for a more focused tasting experience, the Chocolate Tasting session at £25 per person guides guests through a curated selection of origins, teaching them to identify subtle flavour notes from fruity and floral to nutty and earthy.

All sessions are private - for your group, not mixed with other bookings - and can be tailored around your interests, whether that's the technical process, the origins and provenance story, or pure flavour discovery. They work well for birthdays, hen dos, team events, and anyone looking for something genuinely different from the usual Kent day out. N2 Sweet Lab is on King Street in central Maidstone, easy to get to from across the county.
