Join the Society’s Community and Events Organiser at All Saints Pavement for the chance to make your own Rowntree’s chocolate box and see some of the original Rowntree’s box designs. As well as getting the chance to show off your design skills, you will also get to handle objects ranging from Rowntree’s sweets/chocolates boxes, a hands-on ‘game’ which was actually an entry test to see whether you could work in the factory, and magazines which the Rowntree’s factory produced for its workers to read.
