Butler's Factory Tour returns featuring visits to the chocolate museum

The Butler's Factory Tour has returned after two years and will feature plenty of delightful fun for chocolate lovers.

Having reopened on June 21, the tour takes chocolate enthusiasts into the "magical world of chocolate" to discover what goes on behind the doors of a real working chocolate factory.

Visitors to the factory will witness the process of how the ingredients are combined together to transform into boxes of luxury chocolates, chocolate bars, fudge, toffee and hot chocolate.

The tour lasts approximately 90 minutes and includes a movie on the origins of chocolate and the history of Butlers, dedicated time to soak up the facts in the chocolate museum and enjoy a fascinating bird’s eye view of the factory on a glass-panelled walkway.

Additionally, there is complimentary chocolate tasting along the way as well as time to decorate a chocolate novelty with lashings of melted liquid chocolate and chocolate flakes, wrapped up and tied with a bow to bring home.

After the tour, there is the opportunity to pick up one of Butlers' famous hot chocolates or delicious coffees in the onsite Butlers Chocolate Cafe.

The tours run from Tuesday until Friday every week at 10am and 1pm as well as Saturday at 12pm and 2.30pm.

Both adults and kids tickets cost €16.95 and family tickets (of two adults and two children) can be bought for €58. Meanwhile seniors go for €15.25.

The Butlers Factory is located in Clonsaugh, near the Hilton Airport Hotel at Northern Cross.

Tours can be booked here.
