Temple Bar Chocolate Festival Dublin Information

Temple Bar Chocolate Festival

This year’s Temple Bar Chocolate Festival takes place 3 – 5 December – A Chocolate Christmas in Temple Bar and invites you to get your hands, face and taste-buds chocolatey! Take your family to experience the first ever Panto on the Liffey, add a children’s chocolate truffle making workshop and melt into one of our outdoor movies on Meeting House Square, the ultimate family Christmas outing.

Or maybe take some friends to taste some of the finest chocolate in the world at a chocolate tasting workshop with Co Couture, blend with a talk on the fascinating history of chocolate and top with a chocolate cooking demonstration by Chef Stuart O’Keeffe. Mix and match events to find your own perfect recipe!

Visit the Temple Bar Chocolate Festival Chocolate Fair in Meeting House Square with up to 20 stalls including 12 chocolate artisan producers from around the country, hot chocolate, good coffees, chocolate pastries and even a savory chocolate stall.

Also at the Chocolate Fair, children can decorate their own chocolate cupcake, dip some fruits into a chocolate fountain and be entertained by Barbershop Quartet ‘4-in-a-BAR’! Chocolate through film, poetry and the visual arts will also be celebrated with a chocolate-inspired exhibition in NGG (No Grants Gallery).

Temple Bar Chocolate Festival, presented by Temple Bar Cultural Trust, allows you and your children to participate in tastings, hands-on cooking and creative workshops along with learning tips from the experts such as French Chocolatier Benoit Lorge. To top it off, don’t miss your opportunity to hear Willie Harcourt-Cooze’s story (from the Channel 4 documentary series, ‘Willies Wonky chocolate Factory’) when he relates his journey ‘From Bean to Bar!’ in the Button Factory.
