Tues 9, Oct 10am to 5pm
Share your thoughts and memories of an industry York is famed for, as the city embraces this year's Chocolate Week.
York Stories 2012 is asking people of York to commemorate National Chocolate Week, with contributions of their own "Sweet Thoughts" of York's Chocolate and Confectionery Industry.
Your memories might be of your first job, the social life of the factories, the thousands of bicycles making their way through York when clocking off time came, the smell of chocolate across the city, or the special memories your favourite chocolate bar evokes every time you eat it.
The confectionery industry has played a major role in the shaping of modern York, this is a wonderful opportunity to collect and celebrate the industry that so many people have been involved in.
Residents of all ages with sweet memories and experiences are invited to visit York Cocoa House, Blake Street on Tuesday 9 Oct 10am to 5pm where they can share their stories, pictures and memories.
Come and meet members of staff, or the "artist in residence" who'll be capturing Sweet Thoughts during the day, and indulge in a little chocolate treat in return.
Sweet Thoughts Day is part of the York Stories 2012, York 800 community project which aims to encourage people to tell and share stories that are personal and unique to the city of York.
