Monday, 11 December 2023 01:00

Rudding Park Hotel has hidden golden tickets in Harrogate Chocolate Factory bars with a private cinema screening of 'Wonka' up for grabs.

Rudding Park hides golden tickets in chocolate bars as part of charity initiative Rudding Park Hotel in Harrogate has hidden golden tickets in selected chocolate bars as part of its efforts to support a local charity. Ten golden tickets have been placed in chocolate bars produced by Harrogate Chocolate Factory - a social enterprise that supports young people with learning disabilities and autism. Those who find the golden tickets will be treated to a private screening of the new 'Wonka' movie in Rudding Park's cinema room. Peter Banks, Chairman at Rudding Park, said:

“We are committed to supporting local charity and community groups and as part of our Giving Back initiative we have a number of young adults from Harrogate Chocolate Factory working at Rudding Park. "We are delighted to be able to help increase awareness of their amazing work supporting those with learning disabilities and autism."

Peter added:

"Of course, the release of the Wonka film presented another opportunity to team up with Harrogate Chocolate Factory and I look forward to distributing their chocolate bars to Rudding Park guests, who also might discover some golden tickets!”

Harrogate Chocolate Factory Cafe is located at No. 9 North Park Road, next to Harrogate Odeon. It makes inclusive employment a reality and produces healthy and nutritious chocolate full of antioxidants and free from allergens. Trinity Horn, Harrogate Chocolate Factory Lead said:

“As a small social enterprise, we are so incredibly grateful for the support from Rudding Park; whether that’s employing some of our young adults to inviting us to hide golden tickets!”

Pop in to buy a chocolate bar and you might be lucky enough to discover one of the 10 golden tickets. Café opening times: Monday to Friday: 9am- 4pm and Saturday: 9am-2pm. Read more local stories from Your Harrogate here.
