About
There’s something sweet about Castleford! We’ve been fans of sweet treats for decades.
Learn about the local chocolate factory which made a billion After Eights each year.
Marvel at Castleford Museum‘s glass canes filled with real sweets and explore the many confectionary connections in our displays.
Use this tasty inspiration to design your own chocolate box and mini glass cane!
Free and no booking required.
