Last Updated on March 15, 2024 by Suzy McCullough
The John Bull Sweet Factory self-guided tour takes around one hour. Combined with a visit to the Candy Kingdom soft play centre next door you can easily spend more than 2 hours here. John Bull is in Carnaby, which is a short drive from Bridlington in East Yorkshire.
What is there to do at John Bull Sweet Factory?
John Bull Sweet Factory is a self-guided tour around where their sweets, biscuits and chocolates are made. You start with a short video and then you join in guided sessions with a talk about how the rock is made.
For an additional £1.50, you then get the opportunity to roll your own stick of rock. There are free, sweet samples in this room and you can see people at work in the factory. The tour then continues with a look at the biscuit-making room and the chance to eat biscuits.
You will pass displays detailing the history of John Bull’s world of rock. In the chocolate room, you should be able to see the large packaging machine in operation. For another £2.00 each you can make your own chocolate lolly. They also have more sweet samples here for you to try. The tour then finishes in a shop full of sweet delights.
At a separate cost, you can also visit Candy Kingdom soft play. This is an indoor play centre for 0-12 years with a separate toddler and baby area.
