Christmas at Emporium Norwich: where the magic of flavours meets the spirit of the season

When December arrives, Norwich is transformed — lights twinkle in the streets, the air is filled with the scent of spices, and the heart of the city beats to the rhythm of Christmas. And among so many charming places, there is one destination that has become a must-visit at this time of year: Emporium Norwich.

More than just a coffee shop, the Emporium is a sensory experience — and at Christmas, that experience takes on a unique sparkle, aroma and flavour.

A Christmas of memories and artisanal flavours

Christmas at Emporium Norwich is known for transforming the simple act of drinking hot chocolate into a ritual. Everything is handmade: from the Belgian chocolates that melt in your mouth to the details of the Christmas decorations, which create a welcoming and charming atmosphere.

During the month of December, the Emporium becomes a true refuge for those who want to reconnect with the Christmas spirit — the one that lives in the little things: a warm coffee, a light conversation, the soft sound of Christmas music playing in the background.

Christmas Chocolate Experience, Norwich's sweetest experience

Among the most eagerly awaited events is the Christmas Chocolate Experience, a special edition of the traditional tasting.

Participants are invited to embark on a journey of Christmas flavours with:

Guided tasting of artisan chocolates — including limited editions with hints of spice and dried fruit Creamy hot chocolate, made with Belgian chocolate and served with marshmallows and whipped cream.

Themed sweets — such as Christmas brownies, truffles and brigadeiros

Enchanting presentation, with crockery and boards specially decorated for the occasion

It's an experience that combines the cosiness of the English winter with the creative and artisanal soul of Emporium Norwich.

(Advance bookings are highly recommended, as places sell out quickly — especially on weekends in December.)
