On a cool December evening in Sheffield, Chocolate Bar by Bullion opens its doors inside Leah’s Yard for a hands-on truffle-making workshop that turns craft chocolate into something social and instructive. Located at 20 22 Cambridge St, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield S1 4HJ, UK, this 45-minute session focuses on Bullion Chocolate Factory’s bean-to-bar philosophy and a guided recipe for festive 70% dark chocolate ganache truffles. The class includes your choice from six Bullion craft drinking chocolates served as a welcome hot chocolate, a short history of bean-to-bar chocolate, and a table of seasonal toppings to personalize each truffle.
What makes this experience a standout in Sheffield’s growing food scene is Bullion’s full production story — from single-origin beans to finished confection — led by a brand founded in 2016 by Max Scotford. Participants get the tactile satisfaction of tempering little mounds of ganache, rolling them in coatings, and learning about cocoa percentages and sustainable sourcing as they work. The workshop accommodates up to 15 guests, is fully wheelchair accessible, and asks that attendees be at least 15 years old; anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Practical details matter: the session runs 7–7:45PM on Tuesday 8th of December and costs £20pp, with a 10% discount on retail purchases the same night. Note that the truffle ganache contains lactose and the venue cannot cater for lactose allergies. Cancellations require 48 hours’ notice for a refund. No prior experience is required — creativity and a sweet tooth are enough.
This is more than a class; it’s a way into local craft culture. Chocolate Bar by Bullion sits in Leah’s Yard, a lane of restored cutlery workshops and independent makers that testifies to Sheffield’s industrial past and current creative pulse. After the workshop, stroll nearby to the Winter Garden or the Millennium Gallery to round out an evening of city-based exploration.
For travelers, this workshop is ideal as a short, weatherproof activity for couples, small groups, or solo visitors seeking something hands-on and locally rooted. It pairs well with a craft beer or coffee crawl across Sheffield City Centre. Whether you’re booking as a gift, a date night, or a food-focused stop on a longer trip, Bullion’s session offers a compact, flavorful window into bean-to-bar craft chocolate and the people making it in the city. Expect to leave with sticky fingers and a small box of truffles, plus practical tips you can use at home: simple ganache ratios, how to judge chocolate percentage, and where to find ethically sourced cocoa. The evening’s intimate size encourages conversation with the hosts, and Bullion staff are happy to point you to their factory tours and wider seasonal events for deeper exploration today.
