Cadbury World

...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 ...

We still had to queue for our tickets but as we had booked in advance this was very simple and didn't take long. We had printed a copy of the confirmation email along with us and this is all they needed. They do tell you to make sure you have the credit or debit card, which you used but as far as I recall they never asked for it. It's better ...

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. I usually go with family and each time we visit there ...

Review of Cadbury World

...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 ...
...a further 7 miles. Cadbury world is situated in a town called Bournville in Birmingham. It is very easy to get to once you leave the motorway you go on a pretty straight road that is pretty well sign posted it takes you straight to Cadbury world. Birmingham city centre is about a 15 minute drive away so if you are visiting Birmingham for shopping or sight seeing you wont have far to go to get to Cadbury world. Midland Mainline also offers a good ...

...sole purpose of visiting their Cadbury factory ("...all because the lady loves Milk Tray") but my previous attempts to visit Birmingham's Cadbury World while in the area had all been thwarted, so we finally decided to make a specific trip recently. Big Sis lives in the Midlands, so I drove down to stay overnight and we set off early on Saturday morning. The route is not complicated, and (chocolate) brown tourist attraction signs, mixed with the occasional ...
...a hologram film of how Cadbury began. It's here that we began to think that doling out Curly Wurlys at the start was not the best idea. Waiting for the screens to reset took a few minutes, so we were not the only people who dug out the chocolate at this point and starting eating. However Curly Wurlys are quite messy - the chocolate literally falls off the toffee - so there were shards all over the floor that some poor person would clearly have to ...

Review of Cadbury World

...girlfriend prefers chocolate. This makes Cadbury World in Birmingham an ideal place to take her for a day out. She's not alone, either, as more than half a million people have visited the attraction each year since it opened in 1990, which does mean that advance booking is strongly recommended as waiting times can exceed 3 hours for those without that foresight. It hardly seems fair, though; alcoholics get to go to meetings; chocoholics get to go ...
...the Bournville site of the Cadbury factory which has been in the area since 1879 and which, I was disappointed to discover, was not named after the chocolate, but after the Bourn stream which splits the site. This does make travelling there relatively easy, though, with the site accessible from the M5, M6 and M42 motorways for those driving and being around a 15 minute walk from Bournville railway station from those who don't. For those coming in ...

Review of Cadbury World

I first discovered Cadbury World about 7 years ago. We have made our annual pilgrimage ever since. Actually, we now go at least twice a year. I love it, and so do my husband and children. Cadbury World cost £6 million to design and build, and over 5 million people have visited since it opened on 14th August 1990. In fact 534,000 of these were during 2002 alone. ===Where is it?=== It is located in Bourneville near Birmingham. You can use junctions ...

Review of Cadbury World

For me Cadbury World has to be the ‘ultimate chocolate experience’. Over the past five years I have visited the place on a number of occasions and have always experienced something new and exciting. Okay so I cannot eat the chocolate and the smell is overwhelming but for any chocoholic it is the definitive chocolate heaven. (I must point out that I am hypersensitive to chocolate!) This unique chocolate concept cost approximately six ...
...The average walk around the Cadbury World exhibition lasts about two hours, not including the Cadbury Collection Museum (allow approx. 30 minutes). Plus there is the play area, two shops, a restaurant, a snack bar and a picnic area. In total, most visitors spend around 3 hours on site, according to Cadbury World. (I usually spend nearer five hours in total!) So why is Cadbury World such an attraction? Well I personally feel that there is something ...

I couldn't wait to go again so when I realised the kids were only at school until dinnertime today thanks to another teacher training day I decided we'd make use of them straight away. Cadbury World is cleverly placed inside the Cadbury's factory in Bournville (yes, the same as the chocolate bar), South Birmingham. It's easiest to ...

When Cadbury World first opened you could have a ride up and down the car park in one of these cars but sadly this has been stopped now, although most people (me and the kids included) seem happy enough to simply have their photo taken standing beside the famous cars.

There are a few signposts, but you have to keep your eye out for them, they’re tricky to spot. Next we came to the end of the road, faced with a building that ...

Review of Cadbury World

I visited Cadbury World when i was younger and recently thought it would be nice to go again to see if there was anything new. Cadbury World is situated in the centre of Birmingham, easily accessible from all angles although is not terribly well signposted until you are pretty much there. There is parking on site, although there are no more than 200 spaces so on a busy day you may have trouble finding a space. We went on a saturday in october and ...
...we could enter the actual Cadbury tour. Each ticket costs £9.99 for students and children, and £12.95 per adult. There are family tickets available as well as yearly passes but these all vary in price depending on your situation and family size so its best checking before hand. Each ticket has a time in which you can enter and when your time approaches you simply join the queue and wait to be sent through. When you enter you are given two items ...

Review of Cadbury World

...on a school trip to Cadbury World in Birmingham, the sound of free chocolate sounded too good to miss so I didn’t complain too much! The idea of riding on a coach with 31 irritable children (aged 14-16) for nearly 4 hours wasn’t my idea of fun, but then again that’s one of the pleasures of living in East Anglia, miles away from anywhere! My day began at 5.30am, say no more! LOCATION ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Cadbury World is located in Bournville, ...
...~ ~ ~ ~ Cadbury says that the average walk around their site takes 1 hour 45 minutes and I found this to be about right. You don’t get shown around, it’s more of a self-guided tour with paths and walkways mapped out. You get to see chocolate being made, packaged and shipped around the factory, although all of this is behind a plastic screen for health and safety reasons. First off you walk through a rather educational room that has storyboards ...

The land was near to the river, two main roads and to train services which would prove to be an excellent move. There was not only fresh water there was room to expand.
