Our Access Tour on Saturday 25th April unwraps our love for sweet treats as we go beyond the bar to delve into the history of chocolate and cocoa. Discover how the much-loved confectionery once took the form of a bitter medicinal drink made by ancient civilisations, as well as how cocoa beans have been used for currency and as a catalyst for mass slavery. We’ll also explore the masterful marketing of the chocolate bar and how packaging can make a tasty treat fly off the shelves.

Established in 1978, Black Country Living Museum is one of the UK’s leading open-air museums. Designated by Arts Council England for the quality and national significance of its collections, it attracted over 300,000 visitors in 2022.

Visitors can experience sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of the Black Country as they explore shops, houses and industrial workshops rebuilt in the Museum’s canalside village. From the Industrial Revolution to post-war prosperity, they will discover the history of a small region that made a big impact on the people, culture and industry of the world by meeting historical characters that bring back to life the people that made this place home, from metalworkers and miners to nurses and schoolteachers – and even a pub landlord or two.
