As a child, you were probably dreaming of the day youd win a golden ticket to Willy Wonkas chocolate factory.

Well Wonka can keep his imaginary land of chocolate rivers and lickable wallpaper, because in a few months you can tour the Fantastical Chocolate Festival instead.

The closest thing possible to a chocolate paradise, the festival will feature all that your sweet tooth desires: chocolate fountains, chocolate statues and chocolate fondue.

The UKs top confectioners will be there too, with stalls selling every kind of chocolate.

Its actually an upgrade from Wonkas factory, because theres alcoholic milkshakes, hot chocolate and cocktails too.

The festival isnt just about shoving your face full of chocolate (yeah, it is).

Get creative at the arts and crafts station, make your own chocolate statue and or commemorate the momentous occasion in the photo booth.

The tour will start in Liverpool on 13 October and continue through 20 of the UKs biggest cities including Manchester, Liverpool and Edinburgh.

Its bittersweet news for Londoners though, as the capital is the last stop in the calendar; the festival will arrive in the city on 20 April next year.

There are two time slots to choose from and tickets cost just £6 but like any good festival, this is just the build-up – you cant actually buy tickets yet.
