Cadbury World, Birmingham

My Dad was planning a surprise for my Grans birthday and told me they were taking her to Cadbury World and asked if I'd like to go as well. I told him it was a daft question and he knowing my love for chocolate said he thought I'd say something like that. Plus I'd already been before (summer 2003) so he and my Mum were asking me a few questions about it. So I popped on the website to see if it was the same since my last visit. Straight away I could see there was a 'Book now' section. After remembering my last visit and how I sat around waiting for ages till we could go through I advised my Dad ... more

Introduction Having booked a weeks holiday from work, and no money to actually fly off to sunnier climbs, I was desperate to do something with the family whilst I was off otherwise I wouldn't have derived any tangible benefit from my week away from the office. A list of possible destinations were thrown into the melting pot so to speak, but the one which seemed to get the loudest cheers was Cadbury's World. To tell you the truth I'm not a big chocolate lover, so I wasn't particularly enamoured with the suggestion, but Mrs Supercityfan (SCF) and Master and Miss SCF were adamant that this was ... more

INTRODUCTION Cadbury World is located in Bournville, a village in Birmingham which was actually founded by the Cadbury family and named after a nearby river, 'Bourn' There is bar of chocolate named after this village, it is a dark chocolate bar and comes in red and gold packaging. I do not live very far from Cadbury World at all and over the past 21 years I must have been about 10 times or more.

The most recent change is a new section called ... more

We live in the Midlands and have visited Cadbury World a few times since it opened, over 20 years ago. Recently, the kids (aged 7, 9 and 11) had been pestering me to visit, as we hadn't been for a few years. I checked out the website and the admission prices were as follows: Adult: £14.75 Child (4-15): £10.75 Under 4: Free Concessions: £11.10 Family of 4: £45 Family of 5: £53 As there are 5 of us, I felt that £53 was a bit steep for a visit to a chocolate factory, especially as in my experience, the whole visit only takes a couple of hours. Luckily though, I had some Tesco Clubcard vouchers ... more

For a while now I have been wanting to my boyfriend to take me out for the day but never knew where to go. Then one day I decided on Cadbury world. I don't know why I thought of it and what to expect and to be honest we didn't even give it that much thought we just we would go on good Friday and spend the day there. As it got closer to the time I got worried that it might be a bit childish and full of families and some people had commented that they didn't think it was very good. How wrong were they it was a great day out and really enjoyable. Not at all just for kids ok yes this place would ... more
