Bedford youngsters invited to be a mini chocolatier for the day

Charity Creating Memories has teamed up with award-winning Bedfordshire chocolatier Aneesh Popat to grant six lucky children the chance to become a mini chocolatier for the day.

The pair are inviting all Bedford children aged eight and over with special educational needs, disabilities or life-limiting illnesses, to present their designs to be in with a chance of winning.

Entries will be judged in September by Aneesh - otherwise known as The Chocolatier - multi-Michelin Star award-winning chef Jean Christophe Novelli; as well as founder of Bedford charity Creating Memories, Pritti Saggi.

The lucky winners will have the opportunity to experience how chocolate is made and give it a go themselves.

They will also leave with their own creations and a box of the six winning chocolates from The Chocolatier himself.
