Despre activitate
Discover York through the city’s remarkable chocolate legacy. Beyond medieval walls lies a story of radical theology, immense wealth and roasting cocoa. Follow a former chef and a local historian as they explore the Rowntree, Terry and Craven families and the idea of ethical capitalism. See how faith and civic duty shaped global confectionery empires, model villages, libraries and parks for workers.
