About

An evening of chocolate-infused magic in the Painted Hall hosted by renowned 18th century chocolate maker Grace Tosier. 

The proprietor of Greenwich’s famous Chocolate House, played by a live costumed interpreter from History Riot, will personally welcome you to her Chocolate Soiree in the Painted Hall for a flavour of the renowned Baroque dance evenings she used to hold for royalty and people of influence back in the 18th century.
