Salon du Chocolat, the world's biggest chocolate show, is joining forces with the organisers of Chocolate Unwrapped to create what is certain to be the most incredible chocolate show the UK has ever seen: Salon du Chocolat - London.

Salon du Chocolat will be the grand finale of Chocolate Week, taking place from the 18th - 20th October 2013, at National Hall, Olympia.

A VIP Gala Preview evening will take place on 17th October.

Thousands of visitors are expected to flock to the show to see the best UK chocolate companies exhibiting alongside exciting international brands, plus demonstrations, talks and hands-on workshops from the UK's top chocolatiers.

A major highlight of the show will be Salon's world famous Chocolate Fashion Show, which will be coming to the UK for the first time, featuring models walking the catwalk wearing couture outfits made entirely out of chocolate - you've got to see it to believe it!

Salon du Chocolat has enormous pedigree in the chocolate industry, hosting more than 23 chocolate shows around the world, with the biggest taking place in Paris, featuring 600 participants and attracting more than135,000 visitors over five days.

The UK chocolate scene is very exciting at the moment and we're looking forward to working with Chocolate Week.

Chocolate Week takes place from the 14th - 20th October 2013, across the UK. It aims to promote fine flavour chocolate, the independent artisan chocolatiers and the chocolate companies who work in direct partnership with cocoa farmers, encouraging consumers to pay a fairer price for their chocolate.

This partnership will be of huge benefit to the UK chocolate industry, bringing more attention to the fantastic work being done here.
