Hosted at M shed, Bristol's flagship museum dedicated to telling the amazing history of the city, this promises to be Bristol's tastiest exhibition of the year.

Among the special highlights, families will be able to view more than 500 objects from the museum's collections, which date back to 1729, see the last Fry's Chocolate bar and final box of Elizabeth Shaw Mint Crisp chocolates, and discover how chocolate was once a medical remedy.

Those of a certain age can get nostalgic and rediscover long-forgotten brands, while youngsters can get interactive by designing and making their own chocolate box.

You can also find out what it was like to work in a chocolate factory and enjoy a multi-sensory experience with working machinery, scrummy smells and items to touch.

The exhibition is also supported by numerous chocolate themed events, listed below.

It's enough to make your mouth water, which is why M shed is offering each visitor a free chocolate.
